Your house is GORGEOUS!!!! I’m so bloody happy for you! You are going to make it so beautiful and it will be such a happy home.

you deserve this, remember that

nornironlady · 11/11/2024 07:22

Good Monday morning to the Spoonies 😉One week to go @Imbluedalale that is so exciting I bet. With only 7 days, if there is anything you need help with just ask. As long as it involves helping from behind a screen I'm yours! I'm finding it a wee bit hard to get going this morning but it's a WFH day so I can get myself together for leaving the house tomorrow. I will get my hair washed later and make myself a bit more presentable for the world beyond my front door 😄

RaspberryBeretxx · 11/11/2024 07:06

Oh wow, it looks amazing Laura! I love the sound of the kitchen and the garden looks great, a really good size! I’m so happy for you. I bet your son will love having a garden.

oh and a downstairs loo, that’ll be so handy! And a shed!

im so pleased for you 🥰. Only a week to go!

I have to run but had to quickly say - this is utterly gorgeous! What a perfect home, I can just see a festive wreath in that front door! Beyond delighted for you, you deserve it all!!

Hi @CookiePookie , I hope you’ve had a nice weekend? Thank you so much I still can’t believe I get to live in it . Oh a festive wreath would look lovely on the front door. I can’t wait to get in now and start making it into a home xx

How could we not be delighted for you when you’re finally getting what you need and especially when you’re so caring about all of us despite your major, MAJOR challenges?!? I’m so so sad that you’ve never had people be happy for you before. That changes now!

Awww that’s so lovely @TealPoet thank you so much. This year has been absolutely traumatic but look what’s come out of it . A new home , a fresh start and meeting all of you . So I’m thankful for that xx

Oh I never actually saw the description!
It's great that it's got some flooring and that you can use the loft for storage....and the downstairs loo will make life easier
So so pleased for you xxx

That’s ok @Munchyseeds2 , the flooring in the kitchen is lovely, I haven't seen the bathroom or toilet yet. I know having a loft will be handy but can’t use it for 12 months but I have a shed.
Having a downstairs loo will be a godsend!
Thank you for being pleased for me , it’s such a lovely feeling people being happy for me, I’ve never had that before . It’s a good feeling xx

Laura that looks and sounds fantastic!!
Is a semi? And looks like it's got solar panels?

It will be yours for as long as you want it And you will make it lovely and homely in no time

Your ex is going to be 😡!! 😂 Xxx

Yes it’s a semi . I thought it was detached as per description when I applied but I don’t mind , it’s a home and it’s going to be mine. And yes it has solar panels. Thank you @Munchyseeds2 .
Oh my ex is going to be spitting feathers!xx

Laura your house looks amazing, colours sound fabulous and I am so very happy for you. It even has level access so you will find it easier to enter and exit the doors. Garden is a great size, especially for a new build. How lovely will it be to sit out there in the summer.
I will try and put a photo up of my room once the decorator has finished but I am going to wait until the January sales to buy my carpet and bed.xx

Thank you so much @AdmittowearingCrocs , I was so excited to show you all.
I really love the kitchen and can’t wait to see the rest of it . Thank you so much for being happy for me that is so nice and brought tears to my eyes. Who would have thought a month ago I’d be talking like this?I can’t believe the difference between now and then . And you’ve all been there through it all.
I’ll honestly never forget any of you! You’re all very special to me you really are.
I know the level access is great isn’t it , I’m having some adaptations made too such as bath support and things like that.
I love the garden and it’s a lovely size . Right across the road there is a 3 mile woodlands walking trail , hopefully if my leg gets better I can go on it .
I don’t blame you with waiting for sales , I’ve got to book somebody to come and measure the rooms to get flooring fitted xx

Wow, it’s lovely! How exciting! That garden is a lovely blank canvas to use however you want. Nearly there now! Did you get lunch and go to Tesco?

Thank you @TealPoet , I love the garden I’m not sure if you can see but at the bottom it’s got a low wall with all pebbles in to put plants in .
I know so close now . A week tomorrow!
Yes I had a lovely lunch thank you although couldn’t eat it all , also went to Tesco and got some bits like noodles , bread cakes and breadsticks and dips . I didn’t get any colouring books though as it was closing in 10 mins so mad dash to get what I needed . Well I say mad dash but it’s was a mad dash for me with a crutch lol 😂 I was taking longer steps 🤣xx

Can’t wait for the update Laura, and to find out about your afternoon.
After 32 years, I am finally getting my bedroom decorated, just for me. I brought 5 children up as a lone parent and decorated their bedrooms but never got around to doing mine as there was always something more important to spend the money on, and with studying or working, never had the time. Now all my children have left home and got married and I have retired, it’s time to spoil myself and have it just how I want it. Quite exciting really 😆

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs ,how’s your day been?good I hope.
Oh wow I can’t wait to see the finished pictures of your new bedroom. I bet your so excited , I’m excited for you I bet it will look absolutely beautiful and I love the colour scheme you have gone for xx

So excited that you’re on your way ❤️.

poor stags, bet they felt rough this morning. It gets harder as you get older 😆.

I’m just off for another long walk with the little one, at least I’ll be keeping fit 🤣. This morning we went to the remembrance service as ds was there with scouts.

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , I’m back at hotel now.
It all seems real after seeing the house.
Your day sounds lovely, just a perfect Sunday xx
