Well the new year has started with a bang.  The holidays are over and kids are back at school.  My youngest has started high school now and for the first time in about 23 years, I only have to go to one school each day.  Never thought I would see the day!

Besides that, as you all know from my previous post, I am getting divorced.  Hubby and I have reached an amicable agreement and we are working together for the good of the kids and I suppose our relationship as well.  So I am really pleased we can be grown up about it all.  We saw the divorce lawyer last week and he is drawing up the relevant documents.

I am currently staying in a little cottage near to home.  Must admit I quite like being alone.  I was terrified of being alone and am amazed at how well I have adapted.  Now that we have made the decision to get divorced, I have had to start thinking a little more long term about where I am going to live, so I started looking at places to rent and quite honestly I was not particularly impressed with anything I saw.

I spent Saturday looking at the property section of the newspaper and found a lovely 3 bedroomed apartment for sale.  It is brand new – just been built and I have made an offer on it.  In theory I move in on the 1st of April.  The biggest challenge here is I need to find the money to furnish it.  I am really excited about it!  In theory this is what my estate will look like (hope so anyway)

I’m travelling for the rest of the week and will hopefully have some nice pics to share on my return.
