    Nanny - you need to read your OP, its where people have this confusion. What you are now saying is directly opposite to your OP.

    And this is where the confusion stems from because, in nannytone's own words, the bidding didn't open until the 6th of May yet she was given keys on the 8th.

    PLEASE POST WHERE I SAID BIDDING STARTED ON 5TH.

    THAT WAS THE DATE I POSTED THE op//// NOT THE DATE THAT I SAID THE BIDDING STARTED. IT WAS THE DATE THAT THE COUNCIL WERE ASKED TO WITHFRAW THE PROPERTY

    in your opinion. dont be bitter because someone else is getting a better deal, according to your perception.

    trust me ... you wouldnt want my life

    Trust me ... I wouldn't want your conscience ... if you had one.

    Happy to help!

    On 3rd May you posted:

    today i became aware that one of the tenants of the social housing flats is moving out tomorrow, and that they are no longer exclusively for young people. the council will be putting them up for bids next week ( it's already on the board in the council office, but no bids will be accepted until the internet site is updated over the weekend)

    So when you went on to say that bidding started on 29th April, it makes it all look very strange.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I did not post what I thought, I directly quoted what you said. Are you denying you said it?

    and i said that bidding hadnt started? if that was the case then there would have been no problem. the HA would have let me move without the councils involvement and just advertised my current property.

    i think a lot of people on here read what they wewant, rather than what is actually said

    What part of 'the council are putting them up for bids next week' are people misunderstanding? You then went on to say 'no bids will be accepted until the internet site is updated over the weekend'.

    Still denying it? I see nothing in the post that is in any way ambiguous.
