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

A tiny bit of good news. Although i can't get any more points for dp's dd staying of a weekend, they have agreed to put a note on my file about it. Hopefully that should work in favour of the 4 bed house.

Didn't sleep to well as everything was going round and round in my head, but trying to stay posotive

The estaes manager has just been and told me to pop into his office tommorow with some problem or other because one of the housing managers will be there. He said he will try to bring up the subject of the 4 bed house.

Can't hurt can it.

Have to wait until i see a red BMW, so will be frozen to the spot until he arrives.

Rang today for an update and was told that the house is still tenanted and it could be ages before they get it back.

I asked them to check my points whilst i was on and they saids i have a VERY good amount of points. I asked if that means i will be considered and they said "well we will be starting a new lettings policy soon so it will depend on that". "we could end up having to offer it to nominations from the council".

I'm so stupid, i should of seen this coming. I did know about the new lettigns policy, but had been told that it would benefit people already on the list.

I have decided to start trying to save a bit of money for a deposit on a private rental. I really didn't want to and can't afford to do it, but if i don't get this house i'm not sure i'll cope very well with it at all.

that is disappointing, nutty i really hope you get something soon.

Also meant to say that the H/A are still under the impression that the house is 3 bed, when it's 4. I have told them several times but they don't believe me. Well if they offer it to me thinking it's 3 bed and then discover it is 4 then thats tough shit IMO.
If it was 3 i would get it no problem (i think)
