Well a little dissapointed to be honest.
The IFA rang late today. The SW was wonderful, even tho the decision was a No. She said their criteria was very strict and as my mother had died just last summer, then my sister-in-law in Jan just gone - they felt we'd been through too much emotional stress to take us on. Further to consideration was that we get married in ten weeks.. I do completely understand..
On the good side, she commented at length on the excellent character and work references theyd recieved, and said they alone would carry us far.
Whilst not a direct barrier, she did mention the fact that i had previously suffered mild depression 2-3 years ago.. Yes ok, thats true. In fairness tho, i've not needed medication for 18 months (and my depression was brought about by a series of events that lets say 'cut deep'). Yep, im human lol.
Oh well, what to do next...
Any suggestions are very welcome :)
