So last year we bought a new home, we are so in love with it. We have done lots of work and we have it pretty much all done and perfect now. The only thing is I HATE leaving to go places, we went on holiday in Oct and no sooner had I left I wanted to go home. I’m back to work today after the Christmas break and I’m hating not being home. This is not healthy is it? Tell me others were like this and it’s worn off?

Enjoy it. I am now in the first house that I’ve ever felt like this about. I still enjoy holidays but I love coming back home, I never used to understand people saying that before.

I am in my home over 20 years and it is my favourite place to be. Its my sanctuary, why not love it?!

I am exactly the same, I've been in my house for almost three years now. I do still enjoy my holidays, but I'm always very happy when it comes to the end of a trip and it's time to head home. I think it's a good thing to have a place you love so much to come back to.

Well considering you spent all that money on it, consider it enjoying your investment!
