I registered on a HA exchange site and someone is very very interested in swaping homes with me.
Basically i'd be swapping from a 4 bed to a 12mth old 3 bed about 20/30 min away by car. It is in a place that I know (roughly) and have always wanted to live. Trouble is, I don't drive so it actually makes it more like an hour away on public transport. That doesn't bother me, but I know it would upset my mum and annoy xp, who has literally just moved 2 min away from us.
As I said, I would be moving away from my mum who is currently my only family support, and also xp who I have nothing nice to say about at the moment, but he is the kids dad obviously.
I feel really really selfish for even considering it but at the same time I feel like I need to do it, I need a fresh start and 2 get some independance. Plus the house needs nothing at all doing to it, whereas mine needs lots doing, which I just cannot afford to do.
If I only had to consider myself then i'd not think twice but obviously I have the kids to think about.
I need to decide wether to take this any further and view the house ( have seen pics), and let the other person view mine. I don't want to mess anyone around.
