Meadowhall has changed so much in the last few years! I met my friend there for tea last week and I couldn’t believe how different it is! Not my favourite place to frequent and it was heaving last week 😂 I used to work there when I left school.

yes I know where that is, what a lovely area that you are going to be in with lots of amenities on your doorstep too. I’ve not been to lakeside for a while. I used to love ice skating at Doncaster dome when I was younger! Xxx

Not bad news!
So I have just received an email from places for people to say I have been nominated for the house which I put for my 1st choice asking if I’m still interested so I thought I would give them a call. I spoke to the lady who had emailed me and she said I am the ‘only’ person being considered for the property and once I’ve sent my documents across they will arrange a viewing and aslong as I can pay 2 weeks rent up front they will give me the keys there and then! Oh I cannot believe it, I’m shaking!xx

@Imbluedalale Oh my lovely, that is absolutely the Best News!! So happy for you. Here's a huge hug from Me x

Meodowhall has definitely changed. I think it’s gone downhill since Debenhams and House of Fraser has closed. I used to go to House of Fraser when I was skint and ask for foundation samples on each of the make up counters 😂 but I used to love both of them stores and could get loads of my Christmas shopping done there oh and once I went to the Build a bear shop there as you could ‘pay your age’ my son was 6/7 at the time so I thought bargain! It wasn’t a bargain, the clothes and the heart thing they put in cost me £90!xx

its funny you should say that as my son wanted to go into build a bear last week for the ‘pay your age’ bear, but I said no because of how expensive it ends up being 😂😂

I used to work in house of Fraser many moons ago! Xxx

Some of the clothes are dearer than actual kids clothes and then they want a heart to go in, a voice box and then accessories. I mean why does a bear need slippers? They’ve already got fluffy feet!

That news has bloody well made my day. Never have been so pleased for someone I’ve never even met! When are you going to see it?

Imbluedalale · 05/11/2024 17:38

Awww that’s so lovely, thank you so much.
I’ve sent all the information they provided this afternoon and I called them to make sure they received it . I did ask again if it meant I was going to get the property as I’m a worrier and she said that I am the only person they are considering and they haven’t asked for any other applicants details so as long as all my documents are ok they would offer me it . So fingers crossed my documents are all ok 🤞I sent proof of identify for me and my children, proof of my old address and my bank statement to show proof of income .
How are you feeling now? Did you manage to get some more antibiotics?xx

I mean the design department really didn’t think this through when designing these, bears dont have toes so they don’t need open toe slippers!xx

I can understand why a bear might need wellies - but not slippers (or flipflops)! 😅

There’s even a rubber ring on there for them, I’ve never seen a bear in a pool or paddling pool. Wouldn’t it get wet? And you can even buy crutches for them, I don’t know about you but if I woke up in the middle of the night to see my child’s bear hobbling about on a pair of crutches I’d be pretty scared xx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 How are you?
Thank you so much but I do hope to meet you one day at my book launch?
I can’t wait to stand in front of my spoon tree and take a picture for you all. Tonsils are feeling ok thank you just hurts when I swallow but I’m sure they will be ok xx

@Imbluedalale if you do a book launch I promise I will come xx

Apolloneuro · 05/11/2024 18:57

@Munchyseeds2 thanks for asking. So, surgery didn’t sort it until local pharmacy was closed. Sent prescription to Tesco. Husband went to collect it and Tesco pharmacy is unexpectedly closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Just been on the phone to 111 and they’re trying to get a new one sent somewhere else. Thoroughly pissed off (excuse the pun 😂)

Ruralretreating · 05/11/2024 19:01

Oh my word @Imbluedalale , this is truly wonderful news! I am just catching up on my way home from work and this has made my day! Incredible! So excited for you! Amazing that you could be so close to getting a home for you, spoon and children.

Hope you are feeling better too @Apolloneuro .

Ruralretreating · 05/11/2024 19:09

P.S. Will also come for the book launch!

kittylion2 · 05/11/2024 19:09

I have only posted here about bear-related stuff, but I have followed both the threads and read all your posts OP. I am so delighted for you that you will get to have Christmas in your own home and am going to look for a spoon for my tree in your honour. ❤

Munchyseeds2 · 05/11/2024 19:27

@Apolloneuro I hope 111 get it sorted for you.

The infection has been rumbling on for too long now!

Got new prescription in my little paws now! Fingers crossed for third time lucky!

Do you like animals Laura? You could get a couple of kittens when you’re settled.
