Well done for getting out but sorry it's knocked you hard. I hope you are feeling more your old self soon.
We initially sold last June so had put an offer in on a house then, but the first link in the chain soon pulled out so we've been waiting in around for another buyer. We ended up with 3 potentially in 4 days after a long lull. We put in an offer on the house we want and that was accepted, they have had an offer accepted on a bungalow but the chain is stuck there for now as that owner hasn't yet found anywhere.
We currently live 40 minutes from Cleethorpes and the beach. The new house is in a village 5 miles away from there and about the same from the Lincolnshire Wolds - the only hilly walks in the area and an AONB.

It is also a 40 minute drive from here along good roads. My dad, however, is used to us being just up the road (a 5 minute walk). We've lived in this house for 21 years and he just assumed we'd stay here until he left in a box. He is quite upset that we won't be "There" for him even though we've assured him that we'll be over to visit regularly.

That sounds perfect to be so close to the seaside and you have the hilly walking area as well.

It sounds like dad does not like change and got used to you so close which can have it's drawbacks.As you say just a 40 minute drive away-he will have to get used to it.

Good Luck with it all :-)

Weigh in day and 2lb lost so in three weeks 9lbs.A 43 mile week running wise.It has to ease up but hoping I can still see progress and worth the effort.

You are in the zone, Wp and doing everything you need to ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Iโ€™m enjoying the warmth in Spain, getting plenty of steps in each day and on plan with nutrition, so Iโ€™m hoping for a loss on the scales when I get back.

Well done, WP. Yes. I'm still away, although back in the UK tomorrow evening. I was quite good with my eating habits in the first three weeks away. Not so good in this last week of the holiday. Mind you, we have done a lot of walking while we've been here.
