Re: i am so frigging happy
That's brilliant news. Thanks for sharing it.
Once you get settled you might find a neighbour with some garden they can't manage themselves that you could share.
Good luck in your new home. When do you move in?

Excellent - they say that good things come to those who wait - although 3 years seems a bit excessive.

Re: i am so frigging happy
I'm on hand for updates of her situation.
yesterday evening we'd got half of the furniture in and the council had come to remove the metal anti-squatter shutters, and she'd met some of her new neighbours who all seem very nice.
and tea honey, train's probably easier and cheaper for me lol!

Re: i am so frigging happy
latest update:
she has tv, but no phone for another week or so and no internet for a week or so after that because aparently Sky stagger it.
she's got her own electricity supply now, decent locks and has found an easy bus route to the girlie's school just in case Darren's ever late home from work.
she was ioncredibly stressed yesterday when I saw her, but Alex was enjoying having a good yabber on about his new house and how he wants to show sophie all his new friends.
