    Morning all,

    Well todays the day! The CYST is being cut out:eek: actually its quite big and to the left of my middle back and has been painful and a nuisance for months now. Last time I had one removed the Dr said it was like an iceberg cos it went down so far!! That was in hospital, this one's at Drs surgery so I hope he doesn't find the same problem.

    I-T coming to look at the HH house on way to Drs and will be checking with CAP about previous utility bills and other questions.

    Hope you're all ok, see you later :hello:

    as for the schools i changed address and areas after allready making my decisions for my dd school aplication and local authority told me to write a letter with new address and choices and telling them you wish to remove add choices etc.

    and we got the new choice no problem.

    Having been through all but the same situation i know how it feels when you finally get that house and suddley it seems fate has finally stepped in and gives meaning to everything you have been through.

    Please do keep up the new diary

    Blimey, I just got back from a 2 week holiday and had a lot of catching up to do! I had 24 pages on the 'eviction' thread and was speed reading that and couldn't believe the unanimous no decision. Then came the 30 page DCB thread which made for 'interesting' reading to say the least. I was very happy to find this third thread a) as it was only 3 pages long when I opened it lol!!! but of course b) because it seems that you have finally come out the other side. I am so happy for you and your family. I know I shall never know you beyond this forum however it has been really moving following your story over the last few months. Watching how so many people offered help and advice, observing opinions and descions as a lurker has been truly eye opening. I hope I never find myself in your position but if I do and for those who are experiencing similar situations then your thread will provide assistance in both practical, motivational and inspirational terms. Do not lose sight of that Julia. Now I look forward over the coming months to reading about your new home, settling in, getting back on your feet and moving forward. Much love to you all. xx

    Just told I-T all the info re this house and he cried :grouphug: !

    He was as shocked as me and is so grateful to this man. I don't know his name and may never as he wishes to remain anonymous - but I thank him from the bottom of my heart and will never be able to tell him how grateful the twins and I are!

    When I arrived home from my two days in t'frozen north, MOT and the twins could hardly contain themselves in their excitement to tell me about the offer via CAP, of a house from a wonderful Christian benefactor. I'm afraid emotion got the better of me and I cried tears of joy for such a wonderful outcome to months of trauma and bad news. I went to view the house with MOT this morning and I am absolutely astounded! It couldn't possibly be better. A lovely, clean, well decorated house, in a nice road; with nice sized rooms, a decent garden (albeit in need of some TLC), walking distance to the town centre, local swimming pool and the best school in the area. The Mr X who has offered MOT and the Twins their next home is surely one of God's angels. Well we all knew, didn't we, that good things would come to MOT and that she and the Twins would get a new start sooner or later? No way did I ever envisage such a startlingly amazing offer such as this. Whoever you are Mr X, you deserve our undying gratitude. My only pity is that I can't shake your hand, give you a hug and say a very meaningful 'Grazie mille'. I am at least going to help MOT compose a letter to him expressing this gratitude which we can pass to him via CAP.
