Rose, you would become a minimalist.
after all.... how much could you carry all day??
Go do it, and enjoy it.

Deanna, am getting to the age where I realise that 'memories' of people are in my head not in 'items' so I am clearing out lots of bits and bobs.....would need to have somewhere to leave the really important things, pictures ,china,and several bits of old family furniture which I could not part with.....but maybe I can find a smaller place and free up a little money to start with, without burning my boats completely lol !

Rose, you are braver than you think!

Just do it. Life can be short, so fill it with good times!

Dee,twice as brave lol

Oh you've deleted lol!

Yeah...sorry Rose...I pressed submit but I didn't think it had been added - so submitted again!!! Deleted now.

But as you may know I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and all the things I most feared from the treatment I have had to face head on. I'm now having chemotherapy, and I have found out I am braver than I ever thought I was!

Go for it and follow your dream. When I am over this, I want to do the same..sell the house and use the money to have some enjoyment out of the rest of my life!

Not sure OH agrees though!

Dee I do hope your OH can be persuaded lol ! You deserve to enjoy yourself.

A friend of mine is always saying lately that she must move to somewhere 'convenient' and 'suitable' for her old age....she is only 61 and it makes me flinch to hear her talking as if it is 'all over' bar the shouting! I don't want to get like that yet!

Hi Rose. I'd want to sell everything we own and travel Britain in a gypsy wagon. And I would lol, but my husbands the sensible one!

Rose,
my nephew went to Aus' in january and is doing really well there, has a guaranteed job for 4 years if he wants to stay and as he went out to be with his Aussie girlfriend ,if that works out I think he will stay.
which is sad for his parents who miss him but can't say I blame him, though personally I have never been interested in going there.

lol Romany, just be you and the horse then?!

See now this is the stupid thing - I have done 2 bungee jumps (one going off backwards) yet I wouldn't go into a pub on my own! LOL!!

Daft aren't I?

Rose go for it !

I followed my bravery, we sold everything bought an american motorhome and left the uk ..for good.

Don't regret it at all

Rose,,,

Ramble.....onward and outward,,get a camper,,,,no water bils ,c/tax./no leccy bills/gas bils///when the money runs out get Warden OAP bungalow,,ha ha,,,,,

That's tempting Kay!!!

Diana, could you go in with an 'invisible friend' lol...if you can bungee jump you can do anything!

Uzzi, might need to learn to drive first lol unless I wait till son is old enough, we saw a camper van the other day and he said when he was old enough he would buy one and take me to Ireland.....didn't mention bringing me back LOL!

rosex

You're right Kay, life IS slipping by at a fast rate! and one week is just like another!

Go for it Rose - I Rented out my place in London/Kent in London three years ago and rented a house in the West Country with no new Job lined up ..... The first six months were hard but three years on I have bought the House I rented - have a fab job - less hours - more time for freinds and less for work and am currently in the process of selling my old home to rent out another up here. It was a huge leap of faith but paid me back treble in happiness and peace of mind.... Go for it .

Aw Tina go for it!!!! Im learning to drive and have bought my first car and im almost 40! So you can learn to swim x
