Hello Goodbye, I Will MIss You, I Cannot Cry.

Hi Hatley, we feel sad when we leave but what I've experienced after we shifted twice to our new house, life opens up with more avenues. So don't worry, you'll get better opportunities, I hope and wish.

Anytime you lose something or give it away without really wanting to do so there will be feelings of loss. Focus on those things you wanted to give away and are glad to be rid of and let the others go for now. I am sorry this process is so difficult for you, but I do believe that God ultimately makes our plans because it is what will be best for us in the long run. Good luck and god bless.

I hope you can get settled soon. I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way you needed it to.

Hello and bye for now Hatley. This must be so hard for you but you are making a fresh start and as long as you have your happy memories to take with you thats all that counts. Good luck with the move. I have experienced a big move like this myself and I didn't even know where I was going to stay just drove down to the area I wanted to live in and found a flat, all I had was a few precious items, my daughter, a quilt and pillows and a few other essentials in my car, I now have a lovely three bedroom house in a wonderful area close to the beach and have never been happier. Look forward to seeing you back in November. It is very hard to say goodbye to friends but they can always try to visit and you can keep in contact by letter writing etc. Big big huggles. Ellie :D

Bummer I hate moving,but I really hate having to move in a rush. The worst part of moving for me is having to figure out what I need to keep and what I can let go. As a pack rat of sorts, there is always too much stuff I want to keep.

I am sorry this has happen to you, make the best of a bad situation, don't let it get you down. The new place you are moving too my be the place of your dream, I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. Will be looking forward to your post when you get back online.

Hatley I am so sorry to read this where are you and your Son going to be staying? I just hope all works out well for you both I really do and I shall keep you in my thoughts

I really wish you luck to settle down in your new place as soon as possible. I had to do about 5 moves in the last four years due to works being carried out at my home. The workmen did bad tiling and I had to move out again out of my house after six months living in my new house. Anyway I ended up stuffing unused items in the garage and after four years that I have not used them I am trying to get rid of them either by giving to local charities or relatives. © ronaldinu 2008

Aww--Hatley...sure going miss you while you get settled in. I'm sorry to hear things didn't turn in your favor. I was under the impression that a landlord can't force an eviction while one is trying to find a new place to live, but I guess the rules are different were you are..in fact, here a person has up to a month to find a new place. My mother and I were going through an eviction issue and our landlord was literally out for blood..even our lawyer said our case was going to be a tough one to win, but did.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Hatley. I've moved many times in my lifetime. And it's never easy. Most times, it's exciting. In the past, I've reveled in unshackling myself from my junk. And, then when I got to my new home, found that I had to buy the stuff all over again. Years later, I can still remember some of the valuable things I threw out and regret having done so. I'm sure you'll be fine. Come back to your friends at Mylot when you can. Best wishes on the move! Be well.

Bless your heart. I'm sorry things didn't go so well with the judge. If I were you, I would look at this as an opportunity. One where you can toss out things that are unnecessary. And one where you can embrace a new location, and start a new life.

Hatley,these things are sent to try us,and I am sure that it will not be long before you are tucked into your new apartment and up and running again,but the upheaval of moving house is almost unbearable.I have recently scaled down on possessions ,I am tired of opening the cupboards and the clothes taking a tumble out at me,The clothes that I have had no wear from for a year or so have gone to the charity/thrift stores,the books have all been passed on and there was enough china in my kitchen units to cover a dinner for the whole estate.I feel much better now I have thrown some of the no longer used articles out.At least they have gone on to good homes.The only concern was my clothes ,I had to throw a good amount away,and I do need to buy some more everyday clothes now,some casual clothes,track suit bottoms and some soft wool jerseys,but I Will wait,the sales in the department stores will soon be here,the Christmas period always makes the stores panic into putting a sale on.

Sorry to hear that Hatley but I know you can make it. I know how stressful would that be. I've been transferring from places to places too. I moved out three times already and it was really so tiring but I make sure that all my stuffs were properly packed up especially those with sentimental values. I don't want to just throw them away coz it's really important to me and I consider them as part of my life. And even my place is quite small I put some of my keepsakes in a small box under my bed.

i feel for u and i hope the move is fun for u

oh i know this job is hard to move it some hard work. but it will be nov 1 before you know it getting rid of stuff is not always easy especially if you been keeping house for a while but do what you have to do to make your life easyer have a safe trip.

Hatley, I haven't been on the "lot" very much lately. I've had other things going on in my life that haven't allowed me the time to be here, so I don't know all thats happened with you and your living situation. I'm sorry you lost your place, but glad to know that you have another apartment to go to. It may not be what you had hoped would happen, but at least you are not finding yourself completely homeless. In the meantime, I know you will be missed on mylot, but before you know it you will be back and be telling us all the wonderful things about your new place and living situation. I can't wait to hear all about it. Good luck Hatley and much love.

Hi Hatley! Moving out is stressful. I have experienced it too. It's true that its hard to dispose things cause it has been with you for so long but it has to be done. When I moved out I gave away some of my old stuffs to my neighbors who helped me pack. At least I didn't threw them away or just left them. Though the things I gave wasn't brand new my neighbors thanked me for it. Take care!

Awww Hatley, how stressful for you. I know just how you feel as you know. Its so hard living with these boxes all over the place, but it will be nice to get moved. I actually feel pretty good getting rid of stuff. I had thought I'd have a yard sale, but really I don't have anything of great value. So I'm just going to put my stuff in a box, sit it on the curb and mark it free. It will be gone in no time I'm sure. What doesn't get taken I'll haul to the dumpster. There are some things that I may not get to take this move, and I'm not sure yet if there will be space on the truck - like my hottub. I LOVE my hottub. It helps my arthritis so much. But, it may have to stay here. I've moved the thing three times already. LOL Anyway, I hope your move goes smoothly. And will look forward to seeing you back here once you are settled. Good luck, and hugs.

Moving away from friends is always hard, but it doesn't mean the end of the relationship. Friendships can survive the distance. I would try really hard to keep those things that are important to me and the others I would use the move as an excuse to get rid of stuff that I probally should have anyway.

He hatley, I know it will be tough to say goodbye to your friend, but you can stil see her. She can come for a visit or you can visit her maybe. As for getting rid of things, I just did that a few months ago after living in my apartment for 28 years. I am in the process of redecorating to change things a bit. You will be able to change things too because you are moving into a brand new place that you can fix up all different. It will be kind of fun in a way. So get rid of some stuff and start looking forward to your new place. I know that you will make new friends there. That doesn't mean that you have to forget about your old friends. Just keep the faith and everything will work itself out!
