I have finally managed to move out after a lengthy and difficult divorce battle that started almost a year ago. Last Thursday we went to court again but this time it did turn out to be the last time, thank God.
Five hours it took for our barristers to run backward and forward with various ideas before we eventually managed to settle out of court. In the end we settled on exactly the same as my solicitor suggested to Chris' solicitor in December. For some reason he had got it in his head that he would get away with paying a lot less. Well the Solicitor's bills at 10K each was just totally wasted and all the hassle we have had the last seven months. There is no logic to mens minds, is there?
Anyway, I moved out on Sunday. At the moment I'm only staying with friends but I have found the house I want and it's lovely. I haven't been given an exact moving in date yet but it will be some time mid next week. I had hoped it would have been saturday as I have arranged for my new furniture to be delivered then. I suppose I'll just have to postpone them.
My lovely house is the end of a row of 4 townhouses, so i suppose you could call it a semi. It's a corner plot and has a good long drive to it. A big kitchen with a seperate laundry room and a downstairs loo. The lounge covers the entire front of the house and is big enough to have a dining table in as well as the three piece.
The front bedroom is virtually the same size as the lounge. What a luxury to me having to have lived in such cramped conditions for 13 years. Wow, I'm going to get lost in all that space. There is also a good sized bathroom and the second bedroom is not a bad size either.
I just can't wait to get hold of the keys now. In fact I have already brought some plants around and I'm going to spend some time tidying up the gardens, which means that when I get the keys I can just concentrate on the indoors. I still need furniture for the second bedroom.
