Cocooning.

Personally as long as you feel OK, not depressed or miserable I would say do what you like.

I am a person that likes her own company and can quite cheerfully potter around the house and garden for days at a time without feeling the need to speak to anyone.

Sounds lovely - a period in your life to treasure and look back on with pleasure.

I am a bit out of commission at the moment and wish that I could just enjoy it as you are rather than trying to fight it.

Look on it as a healing time - you've been through a rough patch (no smoking pun intended!) and moving house can be stressful as well. Be kind to yourself for a while

I often feel like that, but guilt kicks in and I have to go for a walk or go on my exercise bike. I am scared of losing my fitness.

Relish the opportunity to be kind to yourself and have 'me' time, something we all need and deserve but probably struggle to achieve to you ruby and enjoy your new home x

I am enjoying it, been on Ebay and Amazon searching wallpapers, furniture, curtains, cheap but not tacky (if you know what I mean). But loving it. Now I have to stop in for my deliveries this week.

I am getting out to the shop nearby and to the park with the doggie, I can't be that selfish.

I was very stressed for a good few months before the move, bedroom tax, aggressive and violent neighbour, expenditure we didn't need or could afford. So I think my body had had enough of the stress of it all, the move too, heart trouble I have. No one else looks after me so I have to look after myself and I am enjoying the fact that no one knows me around here. I had 35 years in my old area and knew loads of people so a trip to the shop took ages. Not that I bothered then but I do feel like being incognito for a while. Like an invisibility cloak.

Trouble is, now that we are in a new house, the money I am now saving on bedroom tax is being spent on wallpaper etc., so nothing won really financially. But I feel a weight has been lifted with furnishing a new house, looking forward to discovering a new area and even just now to have a window overlooking my garden from my settee, getting daylight in instead of sitting with curtains closed all the time, it's wonderful. I've just ordered a bird feeding stand today to get the birds into this garden, I left my table at the old place and need to see my feathered friends outside as well as the ones I have inside.

Sounds like a truly new start in a number of ways, very exciting for you! And must be a huge relief to have moved away from your awful neighbour-can't imagine how it must feel being trapped in your own home, no wonder you were unwell.
Lovely to be able to make your new home just as you'd like it, retail therapy is a great stress-buster, even on a shoestring
I'm sure you will make new friends in time, especially when walking the dog too. ((Hugs)) x

Sounds as though you are just enjoying nesting for a while and letting your mind and body heal themselves. They need it, so just enjoy yourself!

I do it far too often quite often ruby, I love being at home and I can loll on the sofa for England.
I have to make a real effort some days, to go for a walk or to the shops. I do go to an exercise class two mornings and I don't like to miss them, but the incentive is that we are all old friends, literally, and we have a laugh.

Enjoy yourself, life is short

You sound content.

It sounds like an excellent idea to me as long as you do come out of your cocoon every so often and don't get too solitary.
