Well after a slow start we are off. Our link worker came to meet us today and we kicked off the home study with a view to taking us to panel in August. She was so easy to talk to and seemed a lovely person which I am so relieved about.
However... After 3 days of deep cleaning she still never looked round the house lol. Feels so good that things seem to be moving at a faster pace now. Thanks to everyone here who has supported us so far
