It still doesnt seem real im moving out of my parents house & into the big wide world in just over 1 month. Excited as i am (& believe me the excitement of boxes is strange in itself) i expected to be worried or nervous by this point because i now have to start packing & sorting things. But im not. Im confident. It'll probably be different when it gets to around the week before. DD is excited to move into her new room & down the road from her friend & as it turns out, i wont need to paint as my landlord is painting the only room that needed to be done. He's been so nice & organised about it eventhough i offered to paint the week before moving. I'm lucky to have a nice Landlord & he'll be very much appriciated. I have a huge amount of people giving me furniature, advice on money, help with moving and settling in so i think i'll be ok in general. My biggest concern was that my dad wouldnt be happy with his baby leaving home with his granddaughter. But surprisingly hes very supportive (as is my mum but then again she immediately wanted my room as a spare room before my dad could claim it as his!) hes very happy for me & im still in the same town as them so it'll be fine.
One thing i have realised is that a week or so before im invited to a wedding reception of a friend. In all fairness me & the friend arent really that close & since she's moved away we havent spoke. Also there are 2 kids birthday parties that DD is invited to & to be honest id rather spend 50p on cards & getting DD to the parties than spend more money on a night out a week before moving date & rent date. I wasnt sure on going in the first place because i didnt know a moving date but it just seems a bit too risky since it'll be more money than £2 being spent! Not only that the agreement was that we'd all take a taxi up there & pay for the taxi together. Obviously get our own drinks. I just feel its not worth spending the money on & making myself short within the first month of being there.
What do you think? Should i go to the wedding reception? its a 40min drive away so hence the taxi.
