I Shall Not, I Shall Not Be Moved!
Well, not into that house I was looking at last night, anyway.
I had reasonable hopes for it, but it was pretty poky and there was mould in a couple of corners of the bedroom - despite the fact that's it now meant to be ready to be allocated to someone to move into!
I took my digital camera with me to take a couple of photos, but I couldn't get far enough away from any of the walls of any rooms to get a photo that you could gauge the size of the room - and in the kitchen, the floor space was only just big enough for your averagely built bloke to lie down... his head at the far wall, his feet at the door, the sink and a small work top on one side, and the space for a cooker between 2 small work tops on the other side!
At this moment, I would rather rattle about in a house that's too big for me, than commit myself to a poky little place like that where I couldn't even fit a laundry basket in the bathroom, it's that small! Especially as the rent for a one-bedroomed house (which is all I would be offered) is only about £8 less a week than what I'm paying now for the 4-bedroomed house I'm in now.
It's madness... here's the council supposedly desperate to get their mitts on big houses for families, and yet they won't go the distance of themselves to find something for me so that they can get mine!
Yes, I'm being selfish... but I don't care.

i don't think your being selfish Ally..you want what you want and i don't think your asking for much at all..i sure wouldn't want to go from a 4-bedroom into a space where i couldn't move..it's just a shame you couldn't rent out some of your rooms and earn extra cash..i say hold out until you get what you want and don't just settle for anything less...
good luck..
