Lets get Nutty a house (part 2) so near but yet so far

OMG OMG OMG

I cannot believe what has happened today.
I rang the H/A to see what was going on with the empty 4 bed house again, as my friend said that there were now loads of young kids stopping in it and wrecking it.
I basically said to the housing association "what are you going to do ? wait until they burn it down".
As usual they couldn't tell me much, but i got the feeling that the girl was trying to tell me something she shouldn't.
Anyway as i had seen the police lurking around the back of the property that morning, i decided to watch it (i can see the back of it from my flat). At about 1pm i noticed a big van outside of it and stood ridgid waiting for it to come past me so i could see what it was. I was that busy looking for the van that it took me a while to notice that the windows had been booarded up.
Have to say i nearly cried, and ran round the living room like a lunatic.
I rang the H/A back and they still won't class it as empty because the people who left may go back (???) That didn't bother me because i know they don't go around removing people and boarding up their houses for nothing.
I asked the women if i will be considered for it with it being a 4 bed and she said it's not 4 bed it's 3, ichecked this with her several times before crying my eyes out. If it was a 3 bed there was no doubt that i would get it.
I then phoned my friend who lives 2 doors down from the house, and she said no it's 4 bed i've been in it. I rang the H/A back again and the women said 'well maybe it is then', but the women that went in it this morning is saying it is 3.
I then went over to the estate office to speak to the esate manager. He and the local police man (who had both been in there that n=morning too) said it was 3 bed, and were certain. But then it suddenly dawned on them that it is actually 4 bed (after much counting on fingers).
I rang the H/A who are now saying i will not get it.
The estate manger reckons that i still moght but the desicion isnot up to him so...
I don't think i stand a chance of getting it now, but that won't stop me fighting like hell for it. I am going to phone them everyday so that they get sick of hearing my name, and they can't forget me.
I feel like i've been on such an emotional rollercoaster today, i'm knackered.
Everyone has got to keep everything crossed for me please

has everything crossed - let us know everything immediately or I'll get cramp, and a pregnant lady with cramp is not a pretty sight

Oh Nutcracker, I'm not surprised you're exhausted. Good on you for keeping on at them, I'm sure it's the only way you get anywhere. Can't believe they couldn't count the bedrooms properly - arses! I've got both sets of legs crossed for you!

nutcracker · 15/03/2004 17:05

nutcracker · 15/03/2004 17:09

Meant to say too that the estates manager is going to see if anyone in a 3 bed on this estate wants a 4 bed, and then i could have there house.
Confused ?? I am .....

Coddy · 15/03/2004 18:52

nutty havelost the story - where is the house btw?

nutcracker · 15/03/2004 20:28

The house is on the estate that we are on now. DD's wouldn't have to change schools and my mom would still be within spitting distance.

I want this so much it hurts.
Am a bit worried about how i'll feel if we don't get it though. I worried it may launch me into major depression

I am trying so hard not to think about it, but it's not working one bit.

It could be a while before i know too, because the tennants still legally hold the tenancy (not sure how or why). Once it has been established that it's definatly empty (it's boarded up), then they will assess what work needs doing (which will be alot as it's been trashed) and then offer it to SOMEONE.

Please oh please let it be me.

I'm rambling now, sorry.

don't know what to say really but if it's what you're after wish you all the luck in the world

jampot · 15/03/2004 20:43

How old are your kids - can one of them write a pleading letter (or at least copy it from you) - i'm all for a bit of heart tugging literature.

stupidgirl · 15/03/2004 20:45

Got everything crossed for you. It seems so awful to have properties sitting empty when there are so many people in need.

nutcracker · 15/03/2004 20:46

Hadn't thought of that one. My eldest is 6 though so i'd have to tell her what to write.

I did tell them that dp's 15 yr old dd stays every weekend, but they said that it makes no difference. I think i might ring them again tommorow though and ask again. Even if they don't giveme points for it they could perhaps put a note about it on my file.

Sorry Jampot you said for her to copy it. Brain isn't functioning properly at the mo.

Hope you get this house it sounds great - is it in Sutton?

lydialemon · 15/03/2004 21:45

Nutty, I've got everything crossed for you - I really hope you get this!

aloha · 15/03/2004 22:02

Good luck. You really deserve this house. Keep going - I've found in life that the more fuss you make the more you get what you want.
