A not so great week (again)

More depressing news on the housing front. Despite tears, tantrums and polite begging for any information the council are still hedging as to when we can expect a moving date or any news at all. Our best chance is a new build of 9 houses in nearby loose....small ish houses/ gardens but 2 mins from the YMCA centre which do some great activities for the girls and only a ten minute walk from allotments (although there is a long waiting list for these....just over a year) However, the council say they will be ready mid December but when we tried to get a look so as to judge suitability the foreman said they would not be ready until mid January at the earliest......quite worrying when my mobility is lessening every day due to severe SPD and the ginger ninja has mobility issues linked to his Fibromalgya and ME and baby number 3 due in mid February....might be cutting it a bit close. Still nothing we can do about it except wait and see.

To this end we have unpacked some of the craft materials and let the girls lose with them. They have really enjoyed rediscovering some of there old favourites and some of the new additions. Many a pleasant evening has been spent at the table pottering and not arguing....which is always a bonus.

Excuse the poor picture and the mess in the background but I was in a rush to take a picture before they saw me and started posing.

The rest of the week has been fairly quite...popped over to a friends on Wednesday for lunch with Tinkerbell as Munch was at her craft meet following a sleepover at her friends. Had to charge the car first though as battery was dead. Needed to get petrol on way home so switched off engine.....only to find it would not start again so I had to call friends husband to come and give a jump start so I could make it home. Put the car on charge when got home as we had an appointment in the evening to look around the birthing centre only to have to call the AA out afterwards as the car was dead again. Sitting in the still busy car park with the bonnet up not one person offered to help........... anyway we need a new battery and alternator I suspect.....as well as car tax due. Not good when we are beyond brasic so have had to reapply for the credit card we just finished paying off :-(  we did look to see if we could do without the car but seeing as both of us have limited mobility and when adding the cost of public transport even if only to the Faversham meet it would cost as much as we are paying in insurance and petrol so we thought it best to stick with it.

Here's hoping this week brings a more relaxed week.
