I've been on the list for a housing transfer - two bedroom house to one bedroom bungalow near my family - for a while now and been short-listed a couple of times only to be disappointed. However, there is a good chance of my finally getting one, subject to an approval visit that is taking place tomorrow, 10am. Pleeeeese will you say a little prayer that it goes well for me and I get it this time.

Well, the visit went well, not fully confident until confirmation from the housing manager, but it does look like it's probably mine. :D

Called this morning to see if I could have the keys to go view (no, I have not seen around it yet.) I was told that no decision has been made, no keys available anyway, call back Thursday.

I hate it that they keep you hanging on so long before saying yes or no. :(

I hope you hear the good word & get the keys very soon. :)

It's not perfect by any means, living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are all small. No garden for Bob, I do have a small patch of lawn out back but I can't enclose it, that put me off more than anything, nearly turned it down because of it. But then I had a think and realised I could be waiting another year or more for another to come along, and then it may not have the positive points that this one does have.
Which are; An end bungalow, so only one party wall to share, and that is to the bathroom and (postage stamp :) ) hall. A shower (how I've longed for one of them). It's nicely carpeted and has lovely blinds. Easy clean because it's small. Short walk to shops. Last but not by any means least, just a few streets away from my family.

A new life awaits. :D

Well...first of all my beloved Bobby...here in Southern California the "surfer dudes" wear the hat with the bill to the back. It makes them look especially...well Gomer Pyle is what I think when I see that fashion statement! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So no, my little pretty, you can wear whatever you like!

But now you have a nice new house...with a shower! I bet you'll enjoy that! Now I'll never be able to entice you... :( ;)

Congrats Chris!

Congratulations Chris!! :) End bungalow sounds great, and as you say, it's easy to clean. You'll love the shower too! and you'll go for more walks with Bob - he'll love that! :D

You know we're all curious, so grab your camera and let's see it! ;)

Congratulations Chris. I think you and Bob will enjoy going for more walks. And he will meet lots of new friends. And of course, spending more time with your family will be great for both of you.

Congrats on the new place. :) Will you have a hallway, or space
to pitch the ball for Bob? I hope you can share pictures once you get
all moved in & settled.

No room inside and the hallway is a very small square. Although I could, in theory, use the small patch of lawn out back he would have to be on a leash and I don't think it would work.
However, there is a park just down the road a little and although he can't go off leash there either a little walk should do us both good. Plus if I can't take him my family have promised to do so.

Congratulations Chris! :D I'm pleased that you have got it. When are you thinking of moving in?
The plan is for moving in day to be Friday the 7th.

I will take some pictures when I'm in, though I'll not have any internet for a week, perhaps more, but I will post them when I'm connected.

Once again, many thanks to you all for the many good wishes and thoughts.

Well, just a couple more days to go. Right now I'm feeling ... scared isn't really the word but it's the best I can come up with, you know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach, not butterflies, something else? Logic doesn't come into it, I can't reason it away.

Anyhow, the die is cast now so nothing to do but get to the other side and I'll be back to tell you how it all went after I get there. Well, sometime after, depending on when I get the internet back.

Yes, Liz. I'm doing all the packing and sorting but my son and daughter-in-law are doing the fetching and carrying and will move my stuff Friday. Plus my eldest grandaughter will be in the bungalow to sort things out. Bob, Ebby and myself will be the last to leave. :)
