hi been reading posts on forum for sometime now and our plan was to sell up and liveaboard in 3years then at christmas decided it was now or never, put house up for sale january and sold subject to contract ,now we are giving away furniture and the likes to family whats left will go to recycle bins and charity shops but cant believe how good it feels down size and de-clutter.just stuck waiting and hoping it all goes through ok,so as soon as we get our boat im sure we will be driving people mad with loads of questions(cant wait)till then mick & tracy

hi mick and tracy here! we are selling up in the next year or so and have been wanting to move onto a nb as a liveaboard, we have been looking around on web sites trying to get ideas of what we want or what we need,this site has been brill to read through with lots of ideas and reasurance that its what we want to do, the main thing we need to know is we have 2 children aged 10 and 12 who are looking forward to it also but how many people out there are in a simular situation ? and how is it for you ? we do know the problems with moorings so we need to get close to the school that is in sheffield as is the wifes work ,not mine as i have just become one of the mass unemployed so loades of research time just no money into the pot.any advice will be welcomed thanks mick and tracy
