A while ago I was on a home swap group.
I have 4 children, 3 of them in one room age 18,16 and 11.
I've been on the swapping register for years.
A lady wanted to downsize and came to see my house but ultimately decided although the location, garden and other things were perfect it was just a little too small.
She is a fosterer and had a massive 4 bedroom house over 3 floors.
When she decided against it I was really sad for a long time and gave up.
Yesterday she knocked in my door, out of the blue ( I deleted Facebook a while ago) and asked if I still wanted to move?
Her circumstances have changed and she is only having 1 Foster child longterm now. So the house is big enough for 3.
I'm going to see her house this week.
She seems really keen. She needs this area, I have a nice rear garden.
I'm a little apprehensive about the area her house is in but I've lived in this house 20 years, my kids were all born here!
But I just feel like space is the most important thing to us and we couldn't even get a swap on a 3 bedroom with 2nd lounge (to turn into bedroom) so a 4 bed with 2 reception rooms would mean everyone can have their own room!
I'm just scared she will change her mind again but can you please send positive vibes. We really need this.
