I have been on the waiting list for a bungalow in another part of town, where I live is half way up a very long, steep hill. Been waiting a long time.

Just received a telephone call, got one, smile , going to view tomorrow

That's exciting AnnieB, I hope all goes well tomorrow and it's a nice place that could be your new home.

That's brilliant news Anniebach. How exciting for you. I hope its lovely. My mum and dad were on the waiting list for years and years as there is such a shortage in our town.

Congratulations AB... I got the same news today! Didn't expect it so soon. I went on the local council's housing list in May, but as I live miles away, I didn't hold out much hope for ages. Apparently I qualified because daughter lives in the village. I was 2nd on the short list, so someone turned it down, meaning I don't feel so bad about getting it so quickly. It's perfect for me, a bungalow in a small complex for over 60s in a beautiful little village where I could never hope to buy anything within my meagre budget... and DGS goes to the village school ... less than 500 yards away so I can be a bit useful! On cloud nine at the moment .... panic will set in later when I realise the huge step I'm taking.

How lovely annie and wills I hope that, even if they fall short of perfect, you will be able to transform them and make them your own flowers

What a week for you ab! The funding to keep your homeless centre going and now this. I hope the bungalow will suit you.
As its your lucky week I think you should buy a lottery ticket. The way things seem to be going for you you'd win a fortune.
