Feeling much better today. I forced myself to get the coving done late yesterday (a job I always hate) and I’ve fitted the carpet today. Just a couple of walls to paint and a chimney breastbto wallpaper and it will be done. It’s the mess I hate: Especially when emptying a room means piling stuff up elsewhere. I’ve never a the luxury mod doing up a house without living in it. Must be fantastic. Ah well when we move i have it all planned out this time. Ill be in there concentrating on the Bedroom & living room all finished ready to go in, Im not working around living this time cos it takes forever to do it right. No am i waiting for carpet fitters, ill just have to put myself out & lay them myself, i know they are right then and no scratched paint work.. all the things i used to enjoy like carpet fitting & joinery i now hate lol saying that i hate doing most everything these days

Usual stuff Had to go pick up the neighbour of the floor, hes misjudged himself with the wheelchair again. Well that neighbour passed away in his sleep last week. They should be in clearing it all out next week, More reason to get out of here quick before someone moves in thats a nightmare which they usually are. However ive had enough struggling with the wife. Ive been on to our local councillor about the extensive length of waiting seen as we are priority. No coincidence then the we got a letter yesterday for our Housing manager to come see us lol. Just hope we can survive another couple months depression this place is giving us.

Good on you, and good on the councillor. It’s probably what other people have done to jump the queue ahead of you on a few of the ones you’ve missed out on. It’s long past your turn to get a pace Teres an election looming, so it’s also a great time to get councillors and MPs jumping.

There was suppose to be a big car boot sale at the stately home in the next village this morning but got cancelled because of the weather. I was gonna go to take away my hate for Sundays, might have dropped on some Cassettes wentworthwoodhouse.org.uk/whats-on/car-boot-sale/

My nearest boot sale is about 15 miles away. It used to be pretty good, but now it’s frequented by all the dregs. They pick it clean like locusts the nanosecond it opens.

Wonders never cease. Woman OT phones up this morning wants to come see the wife a week tomorrow to look in detail to her needs.Its been brought forward 2 weeks. This place in the pipeline is perfect but i think she needs to make sure everything is what needs to be, like a wet room & no steps to the place which there is only one.
Housing manager coming week after
Be sad to see this place go, not because i liked living here, i didnt i hated it in the end. But the amount of time & money i put into it. Whoever gets it is a very lucky person nothing at all want doing to it.

That’s great news! At least you can leave the old place behind with a sense of pride in all you’ve done to it.

Boxing stuff up knowing you’re moving to a better place is a great feeling. You’ll enjoy servicing it far more when you’re in your own private space.
