A home at last

After 5 years In temporary housing and many bumps and difficult times. We at last have a forever proper home. My 2 youngest have never had a place to play . They had to play in the hall way or on the landing. But now they have a big room. And they are really making the most of it. I also have a bedroom which I have not had for 5 years. It's so lovely not to have to pull out a sofa bed every night. My other children are so happy as well. Temporary housing was horrible. It's well below standard living. But now we are in a lovely place and everything feels just perfect.

Ps, dh and I spent 3 years on a sofa bed in the front room of our 1 bedroom (dds had the bedroom) flat while trying desperately hard to save for a house deposit.
That feeling of having a ‘proper bed’ is still not taken for granted by me, my bedroom is my utter sanctuary.

I'm on a mattress on the floor at the moment 😂Will get a bed soon though. Needed to sort the kids first. Still super happy.
