You have to get permission to move? If I want to move to a bigger place, I will just move to a bigger place....couldn't tolerate waiting for someone to tell me I could move...

Seems like a rod to me, but wouldn't you also need some kind of financial arrangement with the person who owns the bigger house that you want to move into.

Yes? Then it's the same set up as we have here.

I don't think you have councils like we do in England,they control a load of houses that they rent out to people,depending on your circumstances you get awarded points,the person with the most points will get offered the whichever house they are interested in first,this one we got I applied for in October,didn't think I'd got it when I didn't hear from them.
It seems they were doing some new electrical work in it,thats why it took so long to respond.:01:

I hope so but it'll take some doing,and in this one we can have a tree as we will have enough room:01: :w00t:

I've heard they are great for painting ceilings,you can fade into the corners and even out the cutting in.

Last time I moved, I had the keys to my current place within 3 hours. These days, with credit reports, rental histories and whatnot all online, it is a simple matter. Should never have to wait 5 years to get a new place to live.

@vidcc: Packing my bags right now! :lol:
