What are your chief concerns? Is it space? Or the weather/winter? Is it where you're based? Do have room to stretch and move? Is it feeling stable/settled?

to be honest it’s space and nobody around I do suffer with anxiety to its horrible but I don’t want my kids to end up like me this is another reason I was thinking stay with nature it’s very hard in winter or move with the times and get a flat or something thanks for your reply x

Good reply from Alana, for me personally I would be thinking what is it like in the Winter months what it like too heat and keep warm enough. yes confined space could also be an issue too try and move around ,as they do say try keep moving as best we can. If the chance of a different accommodation came up it would be worth thinking about and you might meet people more and even get good neighbours , sometimes a good morning “how are you “ on a daily basis is nice for our mental well being, wish you well if you do decide on a change, let us know how things go for you and take care .
