Long and boring- sorry.



We've been on the council list for a while now. Yesterday, we were offered a place. It's PERFECT.



The officer than came back to check ours. That's when we came back down to earth with a bump...



She's told us that, as the place is ready now, we may not be able to do the work in time (I asked for a week). That's painting the place magnolia, and a deep clean (we have cats).



She's going back to the office on Monday, and it would put us in good stead, I think, to be able to tell her that we've already painted, nd the deep clean is booked (it is- first thing I did)



Give me hope, please? I spent last night sobbing my heart out (unlike me- I'm one tough mf).



On a side note, we feel we should have been told what was expected of us BEFORE we viewed...we could have done it way before now!



It's mainly just me and DH. My DB will give us a few hours this afternoon, and I've had tentative offers of help from a friend- but she has so much on that I wouldn't be surprised if she cried off. (She's lovely- she's just going through a berevement)



I can see the hall being an issue, it's Noddy Hat Blue!



Please give me hope? I'm going to make a start now before the DC wake up, and I have to start working around them!
