moving ...

You only live once and it's your life. Time to move! Good luck.

List pros and cons of both moving and staying but ultimately you are unhappy where you are so I would go with my feelings. Family situations can change. There's no guarantee that your daughter will always be around. I moved out of my preferred area to another that I didn't know and I'm very happy. I think you are clear headed in that you are saying it is probably temporary anyway on the way to where you really want to be.

Yes moggie I'm another start packing fan!

If you re read your post it seems to me you are actually saying, the only thing from stopping you is the fact that your daughter is inconvenienced because she doesnt drive!

Just talk to her about the logistics of you both getting together after the move.
Perhaps at a half way point?

Anyway Lucca had it in a nutshell ...carpe diem

Enjoy your new location/life.

I think you should move too.I’m with Miss Adventure,start packing!

Start packing, moggie
You sound as if you really want to go, so you must.

Go, I think you may regret it if you dont.

Definitely go!
Good Luck x

From my own experience of not doing what I wanted and regretting it I'm with Lucca. Carpe diem.

Take the offer and move, you deserve to be where you want to be.

Posted too soon sorry. I think you must do what YOU want to do. Life isn’t a rehearsal etc etc. Why stay in an area you dislike when you have the chance to live somewhere nice. You can visit your daughter and vice versa on public transport.

Carpe diem !
