    Not leach of the taxpayers .

    and perhaps next time when you preach to people from your lofty post - you could learn how to spell.

    I might be in the high tax bracket but I don't mind this - the taxes I pay go to HELPING other people - paying for children to go to school etc- which may come in handy when I am old and need doctors, hospitals.

    Perhaps if you spent less time looking over your shoulder and imagining everyone else is benefiting from your "hard " work, you might actually enjoy life.

    Do you drive ebony?

    I was wondering , when looking at the maps whether there might be a cheaper option a bit further away? Maybe hounslow heath doesnt look tooooooo far, but i looked around teddington/ kingston/ richmond and theres nothing for you :(

    the other alternative is to find a 3 bed with a seperate dining room, and use that as a bedroom, lots of people do do this?

    Hi Lyn I have looked at that angle but, as you said its expensive . The 4bed situation is so bad that they allow us to bid on 3bed . Problem is that in bidding for 3 bed property I am usually at number 30 in place and in 4bed I am number 12. At the moment temporary is better ,in that it means I would at least be able to gain permanent housing eventually . I think finding a way to speed up the process, if its anyway possible ? maybe I should just stay put and wait, thanks Lyn
