I love my home, if only i could pick it up and move it near to support services it would be perfect. but since it looks like re-homing our family is an impossible thing for homechoice to allow us to achieve I , probably, foolishly, decided my living room needs decorating. so i have spent last two weeks stripping wallpaper, several layers of woodchip, off the living room walls. Now i understand what the woodchip was for, it was to hold the walls up! |I now find myself dealing with years of local authority slap dash patch and repair and in reality the place needs a complete overhaul. Now i can wall paper, fill holes and paint but i am not up to the work that needs doing. so now i have called in the Surveyor from the housing association, i can apparently, be charged to replace all the missing walls and skirting boards, things done by past tenants, i can't afford to pay for this so am hoping they may show some sympathy, if they do i will decorate nicely and have the room carpeted, removing the horrible laminate if they won't do anything i will slap cheap magnolia on the walls and keep trying to move. have to wait another week for visit, which was first requested May 1st but somehow got lost in their system, probably because they knew they would come out and find lots of work! anyway i am hoping i can proceed with the decorating whilst college is closed and i am at home with teen, although i really don't think he will be going back in September, so really want to get it done before we start the ESA nightmare for him.
