Well now i'll have to ring you just to see how funny you do talk. How come you're still up anyway? Isn't it bedtime over there?

Luckily no property to sell. As soon as visa granted we are offski!!
I am honestly starting to worry about my mental health. I really cannot be bothered with anyone right now which is very unlike me. I think its a combination of being trapped in this dullsville country and the health issues over the last year. I know i will bounce back as i always do. Just seem to be in a bubble at the moment.
So glad you are settled and happy though. Brings a smile to my face![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Sleep well Sans, mind those bedbugs.
Just thought i'd say, we had a rep from one of the shipping companies visit last week. He said a lot of Brits were returning to the UK and that it had been one of their busiest times ever. Must be a few people homesick.

I know mate.As much as an interest only mortgage HUGELY appeals to me, hubbie wont have any of it. So it's a repayment mortgage I was meaning.Hense the bigger cost.Hubbie's also just announced he wants to take out a 15 year mortgage - great - no life for the next decade and a half! ;o)

Flea, Gee I'm really sorry to hear how you're feeling lately....had no idea
Hang on in there for a little while longer, it's gonna come good to you soon, you're almost there. I know what you mean though about being in a bubble and not wanting to get involved with anyone...that's classic avoidance associated with depression/low moods and I know because I'm terrible for avoiding people for ages. I can come across as ignorant and can't be bothered but it's what I do when I've turned in on myself. Hope you're ok - you can natter with me anytime ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I wasn't sure about the interest only route to be honest.....but i was advised it was the best way to go
And that in 2 yrs the rates would come down
3 wks after signing they started dropping.

Don't be daft. Fire away and let it all out. I too have felt fed up. Family issues mostly but I've found a cure now.
Honestly flea, I don't mind if you pour your heart out. Don't worry about the thread. I like it when topics meander anyway because it allows more people to get involved. I'm not a thread snob. ha ha

I know it's a pain Sans but the insurance barely covers any loss. No insurance covers sentimental loss. Why don't you have a look on Ebay to see if you can replace your collectors bits and get yourself off bargain hunting for another mattress? Probably be quicker than fighting a claim. Bang one in all the same though but don't let them get to you.
