a busy few days
Posted by the old one on February 25, 2026, 12:30 am
I had a heart attack an a "small" stroke back in september last year my doctor wrote a letter to my houseing assoc , stating he was unhappy and if anything happened again , and ambulance took same as last time (one hour and ten mins) there is a good chance I would be brown bread when they got here I set my eyes on a bungallow with assistive living
but was basicly told , my flat had d/glazing a wet room and central heating , basicly bottom of que and that there were about 15 people above me , and to rub it in , only time they came vacent was when an elderly died or moved into full time care ,, basicly if we havnt contacted you by 2035 , give us a call
on fri 13th I was offered a bungalow I measured for carpets , of fri 20th all work had been completed inc interior decoration I signed for the keys , sat 21st (prooffessional) carpet fitters went in , lamainate wood in l/room and hallway , a carpet so thick that you struggle to walk , in the bedroom , bathroom is a wetroom , so has "tanked" vynyl and kitchen ,vynyl is 95% good this monday at 8.30 a proffessional removal firm did the move
I am very very tired ,sat waiting from 10.30am untill 1600 hrs in a cold house waiting for gas to be commissioned , lots of chest pains , but managed it
all other bungalows seem to be ealderly/retired , theere is an intercom for on on site 24hr assistance , no scrotes on mountain bikes , in fact at midnight there is no noise
picture taken from google , there is also a suntrap back garden which the HA mow
because of pension and attendance akllowence the counsil pay the rent and c/tax in full, until I die, the h/assoc do all repairs and upgrades at no cost , as my sister says , I am a jammy bugger , then she says , you have fed enough in , this is your paypack
just looking foward now , no longer on a rough cousil estate with drug dealers living in flat above , I need this

Hope that you settle in OK.
That Bung looks like a decent small manageable place.
My Mum lived in a similar one for over 30 years she loved it as she alaways had great neighbours, unlike me but that is another story.
Hope it all goes well.Who needs a signature anyway......

Good luck to you. Looks great. When you’re settled get them back to do the fence. Den

You have been very lucky. There are some nice bungalows in my Town in very quiet areas. I expect all the insulation has been improved there so should make an economical new home
