Any other first time buyers lurking in these Edi groups?  Moving into my 
first bought home in two weeks and I need to get this off my chest, I am 
cacking it big time!!!  Maybe its the two large cups of Coffee I had on 
Costa Hanover Street this morning, Caffeine does strange things to me. 
Whatever the reason, this morning, I feel sooooo scared and nervous about 
moving.

I currently live fairly central in Dalry, top floor flat.  Two bedrooms, no 
space to swing any of my cats.  I love where I live, I love my life here, 
ever since coming here things have gone up and only up.  Maybe I am worried 
that when I move, all this will change?

The words I associate with my flat - Joy, Happiness, Success, Peace and 
Security.  My relationship is stable, and I am happy with my other half.  My 
business is a massive part of my life, and it is booming right now.  Things 
are just amazing, so why change?  Arghhh - this feeling sucks.

I am moving to a 4 bedroom detached house in a very nice modern 
development - Corstorphine area, it is a palace compared to my flat. 
Landscaped gardens, double garage, separate dining room, upstairs / 
downstairs, it is my dream home.  I should be excited like my GF, like my 
mum & family, I should be looking forward to it, but I am totally and 
utterly crapping myself, to the point where I want to be sick.


Anyway, sorry for the rant - anyone else here wanting to let of steam, why 
not.  I am also hoping some of you seasoned home owners can offer some 
comforting words of wisdom :)

Just drink more. Everything else will fall into place.

Why?

Is it the fact that you're moving from a - what - rented? flat, to a
mortgaged home, or the fact that you're moving from a busy flatted area
to a more sedate development that's the problem?

Hi,

And I wonder, what kind of business you run.

Paul

Dear G

Corstorphine is a smashing place.
No worries there.
Bit concerned for your Elf though.

All the best
Frank

Don't worry.  I remember the day I got into my new bought flat for the first
time.  It was empty when I arrived and I remember wondering why on earth I
had thought it would be any good.  It didn't take long to settle in and
there was so much to do that I didn't have much time for introspection!
Anyway I'm still here despite it being a tiny flat in an area I didn't
particularly fancy (couldn't afford the studenty areas I'd previously
inhabited!) and despite the slightly "American" feel to the carpeted common
areas, basement space, janitor and cleaners.   I'd be very loath to leave
now unless I was getting a lot more space and a garden especially as I have
a private space in the secure car park behind the building where the back
green would once have been.  It makes a huge difference to living 10 minutes
from Princes Street when you have your own parking - would be impossible to
keep a car otherwise methinks because: a) I'd be constantly stressing about
finding a space on returning home, and b) I's worry constantly having the
car parked on-street where I couldn't see it especially on days when Hibs
play at home and on weekend evenings when there's a lot of human detritus
strolling around Easter Road.


Anyway the moral of the story is don't panic.  It's common to get heebie
jeebies about big changes just before they occur and I'm sure you'll lobe
your new home when you settle in.  Have you told your g/f about your
worries?  Hope she doesn't read this ng if you haven't :o)

Thanks :)  All went without a hitch.  Loving the new place, Garden making a 
huge difference - really good to be able to relax after 5 years crammed into 
a top floor flat.
Traffic a lot better than I had imagined, with the delays at Maybury Road 
clearning in five or so minutes (heading into town).
