Thanks Tonya - you will be downsizing quite a lot - just think of the less rooms you have to vacuum and mop! The flat we are moving into is bigger (seems enormous compared to this little 'dog box') but I am going crazy with the cupboard space as I mentioned before - it will be wonderful to 'pack things away' instead of having them shoved high up in a wardrobe (where I can't reach) or stuffed under the bed.....you know, suit cases, books, heaps of stuff - I will actually be able to vacuum under the bed (actually I better buy a 'proper' vacuum cleaner - all we have needed for this tiny little place is an extended-handle dustbuster!) My husband keeps grinning at me as I suddenly pipe up and say things like...."Oh Gosh, now you can have a bedside table dear, there will be room for both!" (awesome!) "Oh wow, now we can put our bathroom items (brush, comb, razor, creams etc) in a vanity unit instead of a box on top of the hot water service" - Wow! luxury! I made my husband smile again this morning when I piped up and said out of the blue - "Oh honey, that new kitchen has two sinks!" - "Oh honey I cant remember the last time when we had one garage let alone two....." Now can you actually believe that just before Mother's day I saw this lovely bathroom arrangement on special - it has the big ceramic bowl, matching ceramic soap dish and inside were bath salts, bath gel, bath powder, bath crystals, bath petals and body scrub & body lotions (I think you get the idea) any way it was an enormous set of lovely things to 'spoil oneself' with - I couldn't resist - so I bought it. My husband looked at it as I proudly carted it inside after shopping - he questioned me and said "Josie, you do realise we don't have a bath in this flat don't you?" Well I just looked him in the eye and said "I know that dear.....but one day we will move into a place with a bath, and I will keep it for then!" This made perfect sense to me! and why wouldn't it? As it turned out.......I am going to get to use it much sooner than even I imagined!
