Birthday lunch today with my oldest daughter and youngest son.
My daughter is a powerhouse!
No sooner had I told her that I was struggling to cope with Steve's behaviour than she has organised a solution. She is buying a bungalow in her village, it's in a small group of five clustered together. She made cakes and took them to my prospective neighbours and told them I'm moving in with a small, quiet dog.
She's arranged a work party amongst her friends to clean the bungalow and mow the lawn front and back as the place has been empty for a while.
She has also arranged visits from a decorator and a gardener to quote for any work I want doing.
My youngest son is moving soon and is giving his furniture and white goods to me. This means I will have very little to buy when I move in.
I had decided to manage with the bare minimum as I didn't want to cause any added expense and then expect my daughter to pay for stuff.
She has told her children that I'm moving to.her village and the older ones are clamouring to visit on a regular basis, I'll stock up on juice and snacks.
I could jump for joy, I'm blown away by her kindness.

That's brilliant news Sue, I'm so pleased for you. What an incredible daughter.
You have a wonderful daughter, and it really is amazing what she has organized in such a short time. There are some people who are quick to find solutions for every situation, sadly I am not one of them. I am sure you are going to have a good live, and you truly deserve it. It is so sweet that the children are already looking forward to visiting you.

That is the best news that I have heard for a long time. Your daughter is indeed a powerhouse. You have been there for her when she's needed you and now she is repaying you in buckets. It sounds like a happy life surrounded by family that really love you awaits in your new home. Isn't it lovely when everything comes together so perfectly.

I am over the moon for you! It sounds like you are, too. What a wonderful, wonderful family you have! And so close to the youngsters. That would be the cherry on top for me. I couldn’t be happier for you!!
I am absolutely thrilled for you, you deserve to be happy. Your daughter is amazing.

Wonderful news Sue, I have been following you for years now. You have a wonderful daughter who is looking after her Mam in the best way she knows, you must be so proud of her. Good luck with your move.
She is a a good daughter because you are a good mum, ditto your son. So very, very happy for you. June x
Oh, I am so glad for you! It sounds fabulous and it is so great that your children are rallying around you to help you out. This is wonderful news!
That is such awesome news. I have the hugest grin on my face and a tear in my eye. Prayers answered.
Such good news, delighted for you and no stairs. Your family have come up trumps and you and Cass will be able to help each other out.
What fabulous news, you will be able to lead a happy but quieter life, apart from when the grandchildren visit! Better stock up on juice, biscuits and crisps. Xx
You deserve this and I am so happy for you. A whole different life ahead of you. You are blessed with a wonderful daughter. I can't tell you how relieved this makes me feel. A much quieter and peaceful life awaits. Ranee
Wow!!! Brilliant news, Sue and you so deserve it. I'm so thrilled for you and Beano because you will both have the chance of a peaceful life together in your new home. One of my sons did the same for me, several years ago when he wanted me to have a 'proper' home after living in my caravan on a private site which was changing hands. Aren't we the lucky ones? So happy for you - Rosemary xxx
I certainly am!!!!
I am so happy for you! I just removed a property from the "for sale" category and moved my DGD into it. I am so thankful I was able to do so and I am sure your daughter feels the same way to be able to help you out in such a fashion. Good for her and your son! You have raised good people.
I am so thankful things are working out for you!
