    Well done Elle! It's pretty quick, first time was only about 2 weeks, then when I re-applied after college it was a week.

    Why am I spending ages reading wiki about greek gods rather than doing dishes and ironing?

    Grrr... you got me looking at new cars now! Have seen one I like for £4k, my car is probably worth £2.5k (I paid £6k for it five years ago, am still sad about that!) and I do have £2k savings... hmmm, decisions! Need to tidy mine up first, it's such a state it's shameful :o

    elle, yes!! :D I'm defintiely going tomorrow, and if i don't see HV there i'll leave a msg for her to ring me. The houses get allocated on Wednesday night so i don't have long to beg for it.

    Cam's grandma lives just round the corner and she's always been good to us so i'm gonna use that in my plea - local support and all that. It's on the other side of town though, and i really don't want him going to the local school so it's not perfect, but i don't care i juat need to get out of this hellhole.

    My car, you wipe your feet on the way out.

    I do have a rule, when it starts to smell, I fill a bin bag :D
  • Beenie hope you can get the house

    SS how cute of Molly, bless her

    Well i have just been given 3 bags full of clothes for Alfie. He's got way more clothes than me now and will be wearing a different new outfit for the next 6 months I think!

    Tia that's a real shame about your shop. Small businesses are not doing too well around here either. My mum and dad have their own business and it's looking really bad for them. I'm scared they are going to lose everything as they have remortgaged their house (twice, and my grandparents house that my mum was buying for them) to put money into the business :(

    Pros: Quiet cul de sac, 3 bedrooms, newish build, garage, right next to a huge park and lake, semi detached .

    Cons: Miles from school, far from any secondary school, no supermarkets close by, will rely on car more.... ,even if the walls are cardboard then at least i might only have 1 noisy neighbour unlike the 2 i have here!!!


    I won't even get it, can someone erase my memory please? I wish i'd not even seen it now, just setting myself up for disappointment.
