Chiming in to agree that the old house was far superior, in my opinion, to the new one. It was bright, warm and had good use of space especially with the addition of the snug, 4th bedroom and the refitted kitchen. It did back on to a seemingly busy road but the back garden was fenced and private, perfect for kids outside playing. It wasn't huge but it had enough space for the 5 of them and only 2 bathrooms to clean. ? The new place just looks damp and depressing and cumbersome with the size of it. Doesn't help that Rebecca seems to hate a lot of the things about it (kitchen especially). I can appreciate that they wanted to own a property outright but there were many other options out there that I think would have been more suitable for them that cost a lot less.
It comes across that they've completely overstretched themselves with this house and the move. They both seem sad, exhausted and almost like going through the motions in order to maintain their lifestyle and mortgage payments which has now trickled down in to their content. Everything seems rush, half assed and like there is no joy. It's obvious there is tit hitting the fan behind the scenes and in a way I feel for them but they have brought most of this upon themselves. Just coming clean about it all would probably make them feel so much better. As the saying goes, the truth will set you free.
I sincerely hope that her appointment goes ok tomorrow. I have a friend that was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35 and it's so scary, even more so when you're so young with small children. Thankfully, my friend is completely cancer free now but it was a scary time for her and her family. This must be weighing on her and Lee so much which doesn't help anything. Rebecca/Lee/Meldrums/Cannons/friends, I really hope for good news for Rebecca's health. I might not like the way you've been handling your business but I would never want someone, no matter who they are, to suffer through a health scare.
