Hi ladies,
Just a quick question/rant/moan...
My OH and I have been living in private accomodation for about 2 years now, and both our lettings have been through word of mouth etc - ie the flat we are in just now is a family friend. We live in a studio flat & we have been talking about moving for a while as there just isn't enough room for us both. So when we found out we were expecting, we knew we would have to move so started looking at flats.
BUT when I was 18 I had a bad relationship with a contract phone and my credit rating has never fixed, and my OH has no credit rating at all! So going through an agency would be a no-go area! Although we did try and they wanted £800 + the deposit of £400 + £400 up front rent + £100 for the pets deposit & £125 for agency fees. Aye because we can afford nearly £2000 in a month!!! So I went to the council - asked how long it will be and they said they dont know.
I honestly at this minute don't care where we end up as long as it's got 2 bedrooms! What makes it worse is because I'm so tired with just coming out the first tri, and plus the fact I know I need to move sooner rather than later, I really have no motivation in this flat at all. So the OH moans when the housework isn't done or he needs to put washing on etc (tbf I usually do it so its about time he took a bloody turn... sod!!).
What should I do? I was thinking of emailing the council and telling them that I'm getting stressed out with this flat and I would be happy in a scatter flat even until something comes up....?
