OMG, happy tears again over here!! That is so fabulous, you must be over the moon and overwhelmed! YOU DESERVE EVERY LAST BIT OF THIS!!!!

CookiePookie · 18/11/2024 21:13

Oh it's gorgeous - it looks homey already and a huge garden! What a beautiful update; I am beyond delighted your parents stepped up as well. You must be so, so exhausted too though. Get some well deserved rest. What a great pleasure to be in your new home :)

Munchyseeds2 · 18/11/2024 21:20

Just fantastic!! It will be the best home.
Mum and Dad have come good for you

Sleep well lovely in your lush looking bed❤xxx

Apolloneuro · 18/11/2024 21:26

Omg I’m so happy for you. Good old mum and dad are definitely trying so hard to make up for the past.

I can’t believe it. It’s amazing. I love the green appliances in the kitchen.

nornironlady · 18/11/2024 21:28

Tears of joy from me too @Imbluedalale
Couldn't be more pleased with today's outcome for you. Go Mum and Dad. Enjoy your soak 🥰

Nottogetapenny · 18/11/2024 21:35

Lovely update, I’m so pleased your mam and dad are doing so much to help you. Your house looks amazing, you deserve to be happy.

How did the phone call go to your son’s school this morning? Hopefully they are aware of your situation and will help you. 😘🌺

RaspberryBeretxx · 18/11/2024 21:48

Awwwww 🥰🥰🥰 absolutely amazing!! It’s such a gorgeous house and I’m so so so happy that your parents are really stepping up and helping so much. It’s everything you deserve ❤️❤️. I’m so happy you’re getting all the things you need for your lovely home. Just so hope you have the very best nights sleep and can send loads of pics to your lovely children to get them extra excited.

and most important question - is the spoon in the drawer?!! 😆😆

@Imbluedalale and @nornironlady Tuesday is a good day to go on holiday isn’t it, I’ll always think of each day described how Laura did early on in these threads now 😂

we’re going to fuerteventura and it’s my children’s first time abroad so they are buzzing with excitement. We were setting off early hours tomorrow morning but because of the heavy snow forecast we’ve booked a hotel for tonight near the airport so we’re setting off this afternoon instead xxx

Hi @Giraffe888 , just wanted to say I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday and have the best time. Have a cocktail on me ❤️mines a pina colada .
Hope you got to the hotel ok, it’s snowing like mad here . Make sure you post some pics xx

Oh this is wonderful news - your parents are definitely stepping up to the plate - and more - for you. The house is beautiful and I hope spoony is in his drawer! You must be tired, but I hope you will update us tomorrow with more - OMG the whole house flooring done! Goold old Dad (and Mum)! This is the beginning of your new life and your renewed relationship with your parents.

Edited

Hi @kittylion2 , how’s your day been? Good I hope.
My parents really are stepping up , everything they have done today has been so unexpected and overwhelming I’m truly grateful. My dad’s even filling my freezer up with meat from the butchers tomorrow! I bet he’s so tired bless him he’s been at work since 3am this morning and back at work tomorrow at 2.30 am so he can do what he needs to do to come through to see me again and help me.
Spoony is in his drawer , even my mum said it was a beautiful spoon 😂
I know the whole house! I couldn’t believe it I was like a kid in a sweet shop picking out flooring. I didn’t realise how expensive flooring is , I nearly bawked at the price for one room then guy added more cost on for underlay then the gripper things then you have to pay just as much for fitting! I should have trained to be a carpet man!
Today has been so special and meant so much to me walking into my house with my mum and dad and sharing this with them and they are actually happy for me ! My mum said today ‘remember when exs name said you havnt even got a spoon to your name? Well now I’ve got loads of spoons!xx

Awww that’s so lovely @ChoccieCornflake , thank you so so much. I’m just sat on my bed absolutely bewildered by today . My mum can shop for England! She walks 100 miles an hour too so my legs are killing me and my hand from gripping my crutch 😂xx

Thank you so very much @CookiePookie , I love it and the garden is huge , it’s covered in a white blanket of snow right now and looks lovely. My mums picked some lovely stuff for me and she got me fleece bedding so im comfy bless her . I can’t wait for my children to see it xx

I reckon tonight you'll sleep like a log given how wonderfully exhausting today has been - even the crunchie bars need have no fear!

I'm picturing all three of you on a fantastic whirlwind shopping extravaganza, breaking the sound barrier with your shopping speed!

Thank you @Munchyseeds2 , I really have a good feeling about this house . Mum and dad have completely thrown me with their generosity, they both said it’s beautiful and they could live here. Tomorrow I’m getting my fridge freezer delivered and my washing machine so I can put my first wash on cannot wait xx

Hi @Nottogetapenny , how’s your day been? I love my new home and can’t wait to make it homely . My daughter has just video called me to show me her haul from shopping today. She’s got all stuff for her new bedroom! She said she’s going for the ‘aesthetic’ look whatever that means 😂.
I have rang school several times today they said they havnt managed to go through their emails yet as they have been super busy. I did reiterate that the email I sent was very important but they said once they get to it they will contact me. Hopefully they will contact me tomorrow if not I’ll chase them again xx

Awww thank you so much @RaspberryBeretxx , thank you for being happy for me and so kind it really means the world . I was telling my mum and dad all about you spoonies today and they was happy for me and said you all sound lovely . I’ve been sending lots of pics to my children , my eldest has even been texting me loads today waiting my luck , saying he’s thinking about me and just now asked me how move in day went he also asked if he could come and see me and I said he never has to ask this is his home too even though he wants to stay there I’ve told him he’s welcome anytime and I’d love for him to come and stay.
The spoon is in the drawer , it was the first thing I did when I got the keys . It looks great , just right where it belongs xx

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, I feel like a log now tbh , my mum got me some Epsom salts in asda, she said they help to relax you and I nearly fell asleep in the bath! Tomorrow I’m up bright and early for delivery of fridge freezer and washing machine then I need to sort out gas/electric/water/council tax and bins out then parents are coming in afternoon. My mum goes through the shops at break neck speed and my dad kept losing us 😂 xx
