New beginnings...

Hey folks,

Yet again I've disappeared but I am back with exciting news! It's been an eventful and very difficult year to say the least, I have been on a bit of a rollercoaster the last six months but hopefully (please keep your fingers crossed for me!!!) it's calming down now.


Anyway the news is that I have just found a place to rent, and I think and hope that you will all enjoy the journey of making this new place a home for me and my girls. Once I know it's all going ahead properly I will of course give you probably far too many photos and show you how I'm progressing. It's all new for me because I've never rented before so it will be strange not being allowed to do whatever I want with the place but I know it will feel like home soon enough.

The place I've found is a huge, old flat that's absolutely full of character and pretty open plan, so a massive change for me from anywhere I've lived before. There's even a big landing that will be perfect for a crafting area, so I may actually even finish my youngest daughter's quilt ;)

I will keep you posted on how it's going, I'm staying at my Mum's at the moment so I can go as soon as all the paperwork and things are ready. I can't wait, and hopefully you will have fun reading about my fresh challenge too. Take care and thank you for hanging about waiting for me, love Mel xxx

Hello from me at Elizabeth's Attic jut wanted to wish you good luck with your new venture and I am sure you will find it a wonderful experience I did nearly 20 years ago. Renting is the new 'well' renting as they say. Lots of people are renting rather than buying especially in this climate so I am sure you are not alone. I found that being in social housing I cold pretty much do as I please as long as I did not do any stuctural work so I am sure you will be able to make it your own. Good luck and I am looking forward to seeing your first pictures.
Pop on over to my place.... any time you are free.
Take care, have fun, be happy
