Selling the house.
No 'for sale' board up outside.
Literally nobody knows outside of our four walls.

Don't want family, friends or any neighbours knowing and sticking their noses in. Or trying to impart their own property wisdom on us. Or trying to influence us into moving closer to them. Or making us feel guilty if we say we're moving further away. Or constantly looking online at properties on our behalf and bombarding us with "what about this one, this would be good for you because...." and then getting arsey when we say its not something we'd consider and having to justify why. Or the constant comments of 'haven't you sold it yet?!' and forcing their views on why they think we haven't sold yet. Telling us we've picked a shit estate agent, and we've should've gone with A, B or C instead.
Etc
Etc
ETC!

Been through it once before. The constant unsolicited input from outsiders not involved in the sale or move was as stressful as selling!

This time we'll sell, choose a new property and set a date to complete/move before we say anything to anyone else. This time we will consider only what WE want.

If anything goes wrong in-between and it all falls through, and we don't end up moving, they'll all be none the wiser. And we won't have to also deal with the stress of their input, opinions and gossiping about that as well!

You are all so inspiring 😊

Wishing I could get a diagnosis!

Had joint and muscle pain on and off but has become worse the past few months. When at its worst my IBS kicks in big time and I feel like everything hurts and the least little pressure on skin leaves a bruise-and/or soreness. Walking is painful. Blood tests show no RA factor.
Awaiting a physio appointment.
I haven’t told anyone in RL.

@isitshe I try not to think about the reality of it, but I'm getting the repairs done literally years quicker than I would be able to otherwise, so I get over it 😁

A degree in early childhood development and mental health with a view to working in social services.
Also being a depressed mess does that count?!

I take Ozempic and I've lost 35lb so far. I've not told anyone how I've lost the weight.

Seriously? Yay! Are you pre or diabetic? Or can it be prescribed just for weight loss? Thank you @InSpainTheRain

Got a massive tattoo on my leg. Only my husband and daughter knew before hand and only a couple of others know now as weather too cold to wear dresses!! 🤣🤣

Turning the corner from the worst depression and anxiety that I very nearly didn't survive. Still scary and a long way to go but bloody hell the sun on my face today felt fantastic!

Do you have to put a return address on the items you sell? Or is it anonymous?
