Lucky, lucky you :) Wish we were at your stage....another week and nothing happening, at this rate I'll be drawing a pension before we move :lol:


Make the most of having a double bed all to yourself for a week :D

Re: i can't sleep
 

What are you guys going to do for work, or are you retired? The unknown is always frightening and also exciting, but you can also use that fear in a positive way as it also motivates you in making it work. Well it does me anyway.:)

Re: i can't sleep
 

It is very normal , in fact if you wasnt feeling that way i would be most suprised .. I am doing the same thing still waitting to sell the UK home , but even i yep Bigpete !!! has a few moments when i wonder ! Jeez what if it turns out i hate it there ? What if the place i move to is overun with a man eating Locust colony ? What if i get stitched on the house purchase and the land is nicked and i am thrown into jail for making a fuss ? Loads of little things and i am still ages away ..So perfectly normal i guess . in fact i wouldnt mind betting been a load who have simply bottled out ? Now that would make a interesting Thread maybe ?

In my case i would hate to bottle it as i dont know if i could stand the wondering what if !! For the rest of my days ..:)
But then again having my bones nibbled by a 1,000 locusts could be just as bad as the wondering what if maybe ? :rofl:

Re: i can't sleep
 

So cajam you're all alone at nights in that big creaky house, wind blowing hard shaking the windows in their frames, waking up every 10 minutes wondering if that was someone rattling the front door?
Hubby meanwhile is living it up in Spain, dusky senoritas, keen to keep him company at nights, rubbing oil into his tired shoulders on the beach in the daytime (unless you're moving near to Big Pete of course!!)
I can see why you're scared!!
Don't do a "Naughty", stick it out and enjoy!

Re: i can't sleep
 

:rofl: thanks for making me feel better :rofl:
nah, no worries there, without him the windows wont be rattling, its his snoring that makes all the noise here, it'll be quiet without him lol
We'll stick it out, i'm a stubborn little bugger at the best of times, i think after all the "moving to spain, have you lost your mind" comments theres no way i wanna give in early, i gotta prove them all wrong hopefully lol

Dont ask how it works, I dont have a scooby but it does, my oh takes it and has already noticed a real change.

Re: i can't sleep

Re: i can't sleep
 

A Naughty?

Re: i can't sleep
 

Yep, in my mind you're famous!!
Think Eddie the Eagle, Clive Sinclair, Robert Falcon Scott.
I hope you don't think I meant it maliciously, I just think that your roller coaster ride of excitement, trepidation, adversity, disillusionment, disappointment and ultimate return deserves to be remembered for what it was - a bloody brave effort, but at the same time in true British fashion, an heroic failure.
Fair play to you I say!

Re: i can't sleep
 

Hi,
No i did not take it in the wrong way, i just did not understand what you meant ha ha ha lack of sleep xxxxxx:)

I have heard the natural remedy of Kalms,(i think it is spelt like that) but not to sure xxxxxx

Re: i can't sleep
 

Well put, a legend on these boards now is Naughty. "Doing a naughty" for me means battling against the odds and having the bottle to pull back and regroup for a second assault when the odds are more in your favour. Lots of people would have ploughed on blindly rather than lose face in some peoples eyes (and there were a few knockers on here as well) but our naughty pulled back from the brink and make no mistake will be back for another shot only next time, she will succeed :thumbsup: Funny, doing a naughty used to mean something else when I was a kid and usually resulted in a smack on the back of the leg before being slammed down onto the potty, how times change! :p
