What gives you your sense of self worth
Twoapenny:
Daring to hope here but...................................we might have a local authority home (ie cheap and with a very long lease; basically they don't chuck you out unless you refuse to pay your rent or grow drugs in the garden).
It's not definite yet but everything is looking good. It's about ten miles from where we live now so we can keep the same medical team (not that they've been very good but changing will delay things even further) but it's far enough away that I won't bump into all these people from the past. Mum and step-dad won't know where we are which will be heavenly and even better is it's a small group of properties down a little cul de sac so they won't be able to do drive bys as they do now. It's walking distance to the village and there are good bus and train links, plus we'll be about ten minutes from a lovely town that we visit a lot and about twenty five minutes from the next big city where there is plenty going on and lots to keep us busy. Am being cautiously excited and will let you all know if I get good news :)

OK..... I'm being cautiously optimistic for you too, ((Tupp.))
I have to say that the situation sounds very.......
much..... improved.
The distance from present location. CHECK.
The hospital location. CHECK.
Central. CHECK.
Good transportation. CHECK.
Stable and long term once you're in. CHECK.
Now, if it's meant to be it will happen for you.
If not, there's somewhere else you're meant to be.
I hope you find out very soon, my dear.
About my legals...... I believe they're about to be over. I remain cautiously hopeful about my situation as well: )

Hopalong:
Fingers and toes crossed until they're cramping
with hopes for you (youse!).
Truly, sending it all aloft.
Hops
Twoapenny:
Aw, thank you both :)
We went to have a mooch about today. The village is nice, mostly flat which is good for the wheelchair. The flat is literally a ten minute walk from the village centre and the train station so really good for getting around. It's incredibly quiet! And as we walked back from the flat to the village again there's a beautiful view of miles of forest and fields (where we live at the moment it's houses in every direction).
We saw a path and wandered off it to see where it led and there's a park with a big duck pond, tennis court, play equipment for the kids and some sort of club house, probably bowls or something like that? But it was lovely, very pretty, people were sitting on benches eating their lunch so there are actually people to make small talk with! Currently I try and avoid people where I live now rather than talk to them so that will be a novelty.
There's an allotment and a community centre at the end of the road. There seems to be quite a lot going on locally and I saw a couple of volunteer opportunities that I'd look into if we move there. They were advertising a harvest festival art and craft session for kids and asking people to bring donations for the food bank. Where I live now I'd avoid that sort of thing because I see so many people I don't like it makes me anxious, but somewhere new I'd definitely be up for giving that a go. With regards to the allotments, I don't think I'd have the time to take one on but perhaps we could give someone a hand and learn a bit that way?
All in all it seems really lovely, the only downside seems to be that there isn't really any parking near the flat and we'd have to park and walk a bit. It's not the end of the world; hopefully we'll be walking and using the bus more than driving and as everything else is looking promising I think I would be silly to pass it up because of a parking space. Anyway, still waiting to hear about a date to go and view so will let you know :)
Lighter, I'm glad the legal situation is looking like it might be ending and will keep everything crossed that it resolves without too much more hassle.
Hopsie, thank you for your kind thoughts and how is the job going now?

Hi Tupp:
I had two thoughts.
1. The neighborhood and situation sounds very much like a British Gilmore Girls..... lovely.
2. If you find your space in the sun..... is the caravan still a necessary item on your list of useful things?
I mean..... for what you spend in money, time and worry.... could you rent a caravan for a week or 2 every year and trek off on adventures without the worry and expense? Would it be more cost effective to do that? Food for thought, for surely I don't know. Just say'in.
