i have to chose four areas within the borough that i want to look at, and then fill the form in.
Although they do come round every few years and will offer you a new bathroom or kitchen to be fitted. Council kitchens are much better than they used to be, quite modern and nice now :yes:
Also if you do, do things such as put down wooden flooring and then move into another council property they give you an allowance for the floor when you move out to cover the cost of it.
TT, I know how hard it can be... I moved to a new country where I knew nothing of the language, had no friends and no money. The first month was a nightmare even to FIND a house. It's always really tough at first, and more than once I thought about going back to Scotland (NOT the same as running back to mummy i'm afraid) but it's never the end of the world, and once you settle in and have some friends around you, you'll be fine. Just remember to always pay your bills on time!
And at least you will be able to chat with your neighbours... all mine speak catalan... I can´t even say hello how are you :no:
i won't be moving until april at the earliest, but if you still have things by then i would be ever so grateful!
send me a PM telling me what you've got, i know any place i get will be completely unfurnished. I've got s few things from my old flat, like my TV and a stand for it and a CD bookcase (got a fair few of them!)
anything else i should be thinking about?
Its a huge thing to think about...and the way she was talking about it made me have major doubts in my capability. some of the places we saw looked horrendous from the outside, a lot of boarded up places, the pavements were litrally covered in dog shit....
Ok, maybe i've got to used to living in hoytie toytie north west london, but the area just made me feel depressed. I'm sort of thinking abotu applying for the area i used to live in, ok its smells like shit because its got 2 sewage plants, but its a nice enough area.
i'm gonna be shooting myself in the foot if i don't take it. but fuck, its gonna be like creating an oasis in hell...
