Default Just cried my eyes out

and I feel so daft! I've just sold my car. The car that I love and saved and saved and saved for. I've been more upset at selling that than the house!

Roll on next Monday when we finally fly out. This is going to be a stressful week!

I was exactly the same with my car, my cat and our house. I'm glad it's not just me who gets attached to inaminate objects. Wait till you do the goodbyes!

oooh god don't. Our leaving party is Sunday and we're heading straight to the airport. I'll be a mess!

Yes, we're or were until the house sold 10 days ago in Kingseat. We're off to Perth. What about you?

It's a strange feeling isn't it Kingseat. A real emotional rollercoaster - everytime someone asks how I'm feeling about the move, I tell them I veer from very excited, to feeling physically sick, to bursting into tears

We sold husbands van yesterday and he has been very quiet ever since...
It is hard getting rid of everything familiar
We still have my car but it has broken down that many times i think i will cheer when we finally get rid

The tears keep coming and I haven't sold anything yet

Just thinking about it all is enough to set me off, here I go again

Think I need professional help

OMG you are brave having your party just before you fly We are thinking of having it about a week or two b4 so i'm not blubbering all night although I probably will anyway.
We are having a leavers party for the kids to have their class mates round too, that will probably upset me more taking them away from all their little friends

Could be worse, Kingseat. You could have sold it at a bargain price (Your pride and joy! That you worked hard for and that was the first brand new thing you'd ever owned! With private reg!) to your mother-in-law and then spent the next few visits back counting the bumps and scratches on your poor baby.
