Im moving into my own place for the first time, but this flat hunting thing is actually really hard. My legs hurt, I wanted to go swimming this evening, but instead Im in bed already.

I've been trying to find somewhere ground floor, on one level, cause stairs seem to be difficult recently, but thats hard! Ah well. For some reason this last week has been the worst I've had for pain ever.

Excuse the moan!

    Hi Duskstar

    Feel free to have a moan on here. That is what we are allowed to do on here, big time, if need be. Flat hunting is exhausting, both mentally and physically. I hope you feel better in a day or so and find that ground floor flat soon.

    Luv

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    No wonder you are in bed, all that activity sounds exhausting just listening to it!

    I'm sure you'll find something you want, you know what will tick the boxes and it makes real sense to get something at ground level. No more stairs! What I'd give for that!

    i bet you'll be on here in no time sharing your good news with us, I'll be watching! :D

    Hi, No wonder you'r tired, its so hard to find the right place, but its worth spending the time reading all the details fist and sorting them into ones that seem possilbe and ones that might and throw away the rest. Thats what we did, it saves some dragging around, but even so its still hard. It sounds easy, and the first time, I thought it would be great fun, but I changed my mind quickly! I hope you find somewhere nice soon, with most of the things you would like! Good hunting, love Sue

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D sounds just right for you, to be on the gound floor, now you won't have to spend all your time and energy looking round; you'll be able to do what you feel like. It'll be nice for you to have your own place and to be able to do your own thing in. Well Done :) Love Sue
