GOT IT!!!!!!!

[jenk1]

Just received a call from the housing association, the house is ours!!!!

Oh im sooooooooooooo excited, no more carrying dd up 2 flights of stairs for a bath no more us walking 2 flights of stairs for a bath/shower/toilet.

Its really really lovely, the lady from the HA said they have only just bought it from a private owner and did i know that its on a very nice newish housing development.

Erm YES we,ve been to see it a few times!!!!

Just got to sort out with our psych whats the best way to prepare the kids now cos thats going to be a big hurdle, especially with dd as she doesnt understand a lot of language, DS we can sort of get around that with the promise of a spongebob themed bedroom!!!!

fantastic(big smiles here)

Jenk, you sound sooo excited! Have uyou been waiting long?

ds3 has been awarded middle rate dla, found out a couple of days ago. (believed to be asd)

p.s. when do you move?

Good news - so pleased for you

hello, just been and had another look!!!

no its not a bungalow, its a semi detached with a GARDEN

its lovely, a big drive and a large front garden perfect for dd to push her pram and wig around (believe me she wont push a doll she pushes my blond wig around in a pram!!!)

but i am hoping that they will agree to build us a downstairs loo and shower room, but thats my next battle, dd can get up the stairs albeit very slowly but she will need downstairs facilities especially when she comes out of nappies.

we,ve been waiting about 6 months for this, we are so chuffed.

DS though, isnt and his friends have been getting upset, but its only a 5 minute walk and they can come for tea.

that's great news

p.s. DS3 wouldn't dream of pushing round a doll or a teddy, he pushes a load of bricks around in his pushchair

So pleased for you - you deserve some good luck!

YAy for you

So very pleased for you Jenk

Jen that's amazing - what a good year you are having - everything is falling into place. You deserve some luck. Well Done, hun.

Excellent news Jenk and i hope yourself and family will be happy in your new home!

HOORAY!!!

heard back from our psych yesterday,he said to firstly take DD on a drive past and just casually say "DD,s new house" so we did that yesterday and this afternoon we did it again and we took a picture.

Just showed it to her and she said "R,s new house".

He said to big it up like , when R goes to new house there will be ....we have decided to buy her a swing and a slide for the garden and have been looking through the Argos catalog.

Then we,ve got to leave pictures of the house around this house and casually refer to it and next week we will get out of the car and show her the garden and take it from there.

hopefully it should all go ok although DS had a meltdown today because he didnt think his spongebob posters would come off the wall, i told him if they dont then ill buy new ones exactly the same but no, thats not good enough....oh well 1 step at a time

Excellent news jenk - pleased things are working out for you. Any idea of a moving date yet?

Thats great news jenk
And good news for you too QE - if its middle rate care componant you can claim carers allowance too.

I'm really pleased for you. I hope it makes things a bit easier.

Wonderful!

should be in it by the end of feb, the inspector has to go in and see what wants doing and also OT have to look around and see what needs doing for DD but we will probably move in before then.

So excited, i cant wait!!!!!

Fab news and hopefully not too long to wait.
