Two weeks - too fast!

Back from holiday tomorrow - but in two weeks we've had an offer (accepted!) on the house; started making wills; probably have a place to rent......

When did we find time to holiday??? Actually it's all been very stressful (not helped by a family situation that has throw things into a bit of a financial mess).

I would SO love to find a way to move and live in France straightaway. Sadly the reality means that income is needed and as my french isn't up to the standard for being employed (unless someone just wanted English conversation and I can't imagine there's much money in that) we are going to be in the very weird situation of owning a beautiful house which we can't afford to furnish, in a place we can hardly afford to visit (and which holiday time would AT THE MAXIMUM mean only 6 weeks a year)  - and it'll be like that for the foreseeable future. And all the time we'll be paying out vast sums of money to rent!!!

Even if we took into account the 'savings' on holiday accommodation - and the possibility of earning a little income from the house - we're sort of thousands of pounds a year down on the deal. I don't quite understand how on earth we think this is a good idea.....

I can feel some more sleepless nights coming on.......
