Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 9Sep 09, 2008 4:52 pm You need the professional services of a head shrink not a builder.
Pat the draftie. Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 10Sep 09, 2008 5:01 pm Oh gee, thanks! lol How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 11Sep 09, 2008 6:08 pm Once you have settled in I'm sure you'll love your new place. You have obviously put a lot of time and thought (and money!) into making it a place that you will enjoy.
I can relate to feeling a bit funny about moving house. I'm very excited about our new place but still feel a bit nervous about leaving where we are now. I'm sure you'll be fine. Take care. Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 12Sep 09, 2008 6:24 pm Don't worry grace, I felt like that with the last move and now, and I haven't even moved yet. We had been in our first house 17 years, kids grew up there, made great friends and I was so upset..UNTIL I drove out the driveway forever - all better. Same with this one, we are renting our house back till our other is built and I thought I would be sad but I can't wait now. You'll be fine, think positive. New beginnings, it's exciting Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 13Sep 10, 2008 2:23 am I wholeheartedly understand graceslick
We've spent 18 months planning and building our house and I'm starting to feel flat about the whole thing. Its nothing to do with needing a shrink but more about spending money, time and effort on a new project and hoping it will work out well. Just think (I keep reminding myself) that you can sell it if it doesn't work out. Its just a house (or flat) ... four walls and a roof. The memories will come along with you as will all you furniture, friends and personal items. Give yourself 12 months and then reassess things to see if you feel the same way. Re: Not satisfied despite beautiful renovations? 14Sep 10, 2008 2:19 pm Yeah, I think I’ll be ok. I mean, I am self-aware enough to realise that I just don’t cope well with change and am very sentimental, so those two things combined don’t bode well when you have to move house. lol
My main issues are that I love my area, but I simply cannot afford to buy here so it’s just not even a consideration right now. Apartments that are half the size of the one I bought are out of my price range in my current area. So I have to just adjust my thinking in that regard. Another issue is, as I said, the security. This will take time to get used to and I’m hoping it’ll be ok. If we have no break ins within the first few months and no trouble or weirdness, I think I’ll relax. They’re really the main ones, so yeah, I’ll be alright. I still have little sparks of excitement that flash through my mind, so that’s good. My partner is only just now beginning to get a bit stressed about moving. lol. I’ve been the one organising it all this whole time but I can’t take time off work (I only work part time anyway) next week when we actually move in, so she’s the one who’ll be there when they pack up our apartment and unload at the other end…I’m gonna have to write down totally detailed instructions so she knows without a shadow of any doubt where each and every piece of furniture is to be placed, since I can’t be there. lol How the hell did I become a senior member!?

I'll just have to move everything afterwards! John wanted to know what to do when unpacking, I gave him the job of the tv/sound system, and computers. He's not allowed to do anything else...
