I don't use my oven very often, it's not huge, it's not floor standing and it sits on my counter top. It only has one shelf but it's big enough for me. I didn't buy it new, it was second hand but had only been used once. I bought a two ring hob from AO and I cook most things on that. As I've said before, I moved in with just a bed and that was given to me by my youngest son. I purchased a very small fridge freezer also from AO. My furniture, a small sofa, chair and a bathroom cupboard, I bought from a charity warehouse. Cass gave me a wardrobe that was far too big for the bedroom it was in. I keep it in my living room, it probably looks strange there but I don't care. Nobody sees the bungalow apart from my family.
I lead a very quiet life, Autumn group, getting Cass's washing dry and walking Beano. It suits me just fine, no grief, no hassle, just peace.

Hester, I admire you so much, following you since Money-saving Expert days, so I don't know how many years that is but you are a lady with strength gumtion and so many qualities I woebe proud of. You deserve a bit of peace now to enjoy your life, just you and Beano, and of course Cass and your family. Stay strong enjoy and keep posting, I love reading your stories. Thank you and take care
I have a bookcase, a set of storage cubbies with bins for my hand embroidery, a huge box of a thing belonging to my sister, a dining room table that seats 8 when opened, and a sewing machine in my living room in addition to love seat, rocking chair, glider with ottoman, and a sort of recliner. Very crowded but, if you don't like it you don't have to come over!! We are well past the age of needing to "keep up with the Joneses" (or whatever the English equivalent is). So glad you are happier!
I've got a huge clothes airer in my living room , it's folds almost flat apart from the base which is a bit annoying so it stands in front of my book case. This is the only place it can go now. It used to live in a perfect space in the kitchen until we had new heating system put in by the council, they put a big chunky storage heater in the way and that was the end of that sadly. I don't care as the only people who see it are my husband, myself and our dog. When in the living room we aren't sitting staring at the book case are we so it really doesn't matter does it ? I'm glad your getting on so well , enjoy your freedom x
It must be a huge relief for you to be able to live in peace.
I just bet you are really enjoying the peace and quiet and Beano will be too. Walking, helping your daughter out are just lovely things to do. I'm babysitting tomorrow, so granddaughter can be taken swimming. Baby isn't big enough yet. Xx
It must seem like heaven to you, peace perfect peace.
Glad to read that you are settled and feeling so much more peaceful. Enjoy your new life.
You sound so content and it’s lovely that you are living peacefully in a safe and comfortable home. Catriona
Peace is a wonderful thing.
You have all that you need, on your terms, and budget, that makes YOU happy and who cares if wardrobe in living area - its YOUR home and that is all that matters! I am so happy for you, the peace of mind you have now with your Beano and Cass and family. You certainly deserve peace and happiness. Dawn P. Albany, GA USA
So pleased to read that you are getting settled in and free from the stress of coping with Steve. Peace is such a wonderful thing.
A lovely post. It reminded me of the ladies’ choir singing the Gaelic blessing of deep peace, to the music by Rutter.
It sounds like a place where contentment can grow. Wishing you well.
I am so happy for you and Beano. Hugs and love.

Well done for getting moved and settled
You live and arrange your things that suit you and Beano, it's nobody else's business but yours to enjoy. It is heart warming to read how you managed to find peace after all the turbulent years. xx
Well, I suppose that's better than a bun. (Re title)
Glad all is working out for you and Beano. JB
It is lovely to hear of your different life, peace and contentment.
A peaceful life is worth more than all the possessions in the world. I am pleased you can enjoy your life again and not face constant conflict and criticism. Carole R
Give it time...You'll fill your home with many wonderful things before long! I'm in America but would love to send you a few dollars.
Happy weekend!
