House move

Unfortunately me and Toby are having to say goodbye to our beautiful little flat. We found out mid February our Landlord is moving away from Leicester so is selling the property. That's the problem with renting, nothings guaranteed. This explains why I've been a little quiet on the blog front recently as I literally haven't stopped since we found out. Firstly I had to find somewhere else for us and it took weeks for something half decent to come up! But eventually it did, and we've managed to find ourselves a lovely little two bedroom house which realistically is going to be a lot better for us as Tobys nearly four now (I seriously cannot believe it) and we could do with the extra space! It also comes with a garage which means I have room to really try and do something with my little furniture renovation business plan. Plus its going to be lovely to have a little garden as that's the main thing I think we were really lacking where we are now. 

I have been non stop packing since we found out and I'm still struggling to believe just how much stuff we actually own! I have no idea how we managed to fit it all into such a small place. Its been a great excuse to have a major clear out though and it been lovely finding little forgotten memories and looking through all of Tobys baby things again. 

I'm feeling quite a mix of emotions about the whole move really. Its going to be so hard saying goodbye to our first ever home, we really did make it our own and I really did love it here. At the same time though everything happens for a reason and this move is going to be great for us! I am just so proud of how far we've both come. Its just over a year now since we first moved in and I was so terrified of doing it all on my own. It was exciting gaining my full independence but at the same time I gained full responsibility for another person. Even though he was two at the time it was still an extremely daunting experience actually doing it all alone with out having my mother there to support me and for me to turn to when I needed a little help. I don't think I let myself know often enough just how well I've done and as silly as this will sound to most of you, I really am proud of myself. 

So hello exciting new adventure! Here's to hoping next time we do the whole house move malarkey it can be to somewhere we can truly call our own.  Best get saving that deposit!
