So we are privately renting and need to move. The house is too small, and we were supposed to move before ttc but ended up NTNP anyway. I was beginning to feel really down about it thinking we'd be stuck here forever as the other properties in the area big enough are a huge jump in rent (almost double in most cases) I applied for council but didn't think I'd get anywhere. Had an email this morning accepting us and saying we are band c minor overcrowding. I know it could still take years but we can now 'bid' on council properties as well as continue looking for a decently priced private rent (if such a thing exists lol) I finally feel like we will get out of here! We only ever intended to stay for 6 months and are still here 7 years (and 3 more kids) later

That's fantastic news! Well done!! Hope you get a result with the council house soon!
-
Thanks. I just feel so much better knowing that we actually have a chance of moving. It was really dragging me down.
Now my biggest hurdle is dh being a snob about some of surrounding areas lol I hope something comes up close enough to not have to move schools but I'm sure we will work round whatever happens. Just knowing I have that option is a huge weight lifted.

That's great! I know what it's like to be stuck somewhere you hate. Before we moved I didn't even want to decorate our other house, I just lost interest completely because I wanted out of it so much.
-
Our landlord is fantastic, but the one thing we can not do is decorate. I would LOVE to decorate. Our walls are all white.
But its so small, and we trip over each other and our stuff is crammed in. So it never looks tidy. And I just find that I have no desire to keep it nice and tidy because no matter how hard I try it still looks messy.

I have ocd I have to have everything in its place, sometimes I spend the day filling black bags and getting rid of stuff because I need the space. Our house isn't great for storage either it's so annoying esp when you open a cupboard door and 500 shoes fall out :/

My husband is a squirrel as well. He keeps hold of things "in case they come in handy" he has finally had enough and started getting rid of things. But we still have so much. We've got 4 age groups worth of toys before you even start lol 1 bedroom is just 2 bunk beds and 47899511135784 toys crammed against the walls and in shelves and stacked in tubs and under beds.

hi ladies, im just wondering if anyone is going to dr potters seminar, ive just booked me n hubbys place, i dont think we would ever be in a financial situation to afford ht but im doing the lottery from this week lol x
-
No I'm not.
I keep thinking maybe I should start doing the lottery so I can spend my winnings getting a girl. I just wish it was able to be completely done in this country.
I was so naughty past night, we had an Indian take away. I know the odd cheat is ok but I feel I've been too laid back with the diet anyway lately. And it's my birthday next week and all DHs plans involve food!!
And he wants to know what I want, if I want to go shopping etc but the one thing I want I can't have!
Ds3 had his first trial afternoon at 'big school' today. He loves it thankfully. But was so quiet this afternoon here with out him. I'm used to the mornings with just ds4 but the afternoon as well just felt odd.
