Off for a curry last night, to celebrate an offer being put in on the house.
Things could move very quickly from here. But a colleague at work knows someone in the same predicament. She has a 4.5 month old baby and a four year old daughter, and has been given notice by her Landlord that she will be unable to continue renting from him in 31 days time.
First she did was get on to the Council, who said to her, despite written proof and minors being involved, that she was not considered at risk of homelessness until she could prove she would be homeless in 28 days.
So they really are that intractable.
I'll have to wait and see what happens from here. Mum doesn't realise it, but even with finance in place it's a good six weeks to exchange.
They will probably start moving out immediately, but I can handle that, emotional as it will be.
At least I'll be away from her annoying cough
Anyway.
I've put we in the RFN thread, and my curry in the Dinner thread.
