    Aww I’m so pleased for you and your daughter Poppy.
    An amazing start to a new year in a new home.

    Im not sure if your council do it but when I moved into my flat I got white goods and it was a massive help. The Welfare Fund it’s called up here.
    You May wish to purchase a more modern one but thought i would mention it just incase.

    Good luck with the move and I’m sure you and your daughter will have many happy years in your new home 🏡❤️

    Thank you everyone! @Jimm_Scope @Lou67 i was told today to speak to my LA when i sign the tenancy agreement and they will help me information for some funding with cooker at least. Not sure about the carpets but i will ask about those too. 

    If all else fails then my eldest daughter will be happy to get them on credit so i can pay monthly. Thankfully, it will be split between myself and daughter i live with.

    I'm just sitting in the clouds because i didn't expect this to happen so quickly but i'm so happy it did and very greatful that i was luckly enough to be rehoused so quickly because i know the wait for some HA properties can be very long. I'm sure it's not a dream!

    @noman aww that's sweet, thank you! <3

    That’s great news that it has a new kitchen, and although you are going to have to do the carpets, at least you will be able to pick what you want and won’t have anybody else’s stains on them! I’m so pleased that the house is everything you wanted.

    I expected to wait 2-3 years, and was offered my flat after 13 months.

    Although a lot of hard work and stress are ahead, it's absolutely worth it once you are all moved and start to feel the physical benefits of living in a suitable home.

    That is fantastic news, Poppy, so pleased it all fits you perfectly, with just the one extra aid to wait for. You will certainly be having a very merry Christmas & a brilliant, if not a tad busy, 2024.  🥂

    I'm so incredibly thankful that i was offered a house so quickly! Today i had a letter from my letting agency, which was posted on 13th December, the day before i gave my 1 month written notice. They are increasing my rent by £80 PCM from March 2024. This would mean a shortfall of £115 PCM, which is a huge amount for me! They made sure to tell me in the letter that as a loyal, long term tennant my rent is below market rates.... yeah right!

    Thankfully, i will not be living here when the rent increases. My rent will be paid in full as a social housing tenant.

    Fantastic, Poppy, you now know it's real. Hope you get a nice new keychain for Christmas to go with those keys & a bottle of bubbly stuff, to celebrate your new 'relaxed' start of your permanent new home. 👌🥂
