Planning to leave husband in secret

[TwinkleTwinkleTwinkie]

I’m secretly planning to leave my husband and once I receive an offer of a house I will have to lay flooring, furnish an entire house, possibly paint it and put up curtains etc. All without him knowing. I’m now getting overwhelmed at the enormity of the task. I will potentially have about a month to do this (paying for both properties) until I leave.

Has anyone done similar? Posting here for traffic.

Yes - once you've got your head round that, it takes a chunk of stress away. If children can be warm, they will find the whole thing fun, Don't stress about a balanced diet - feeding what is convenient won't hurt for a month or two.

I lived for 3 years without a kitchen (there were good reasons why installing the kitchen was so slow), washing up by hand in the bathroom, and cooking with a combination of electric frying pan, slow cooker and single electric ring. Even for Christmas dinner! Nowadays there's much better equipment available.

An early priority was a washing machine.
