She's 17 in a couple of weeks, her bf is 21. I guess they grow up. There was a warning about that on the label -but y'know you don't look at that with newborns ;)It is the same age that I moved out too.
It has been really quick. No warning to prepare myself (or collect things together).They applied to the local housing association a while back - had an interview here last week, and were put on their list. Since bf family circumstances have been strained, and he's been staying with us, he was probably put down as technically homeless (there were questions and according to my lease he shouldn't be here, but I'm not about to throw someone out)- so I suspect they were top of the housing list.
They looked at a horrible, terrible place earlier in the week and said no - then this one came along almost straight after. Nice street, nice little two bed maisonette with garden, but if they wanted it they had to sign within 24hrs (that's standard here because of lack of housing places).
So, yeah - how to get the place furnished without transport or money.
First thing she said - was it's got two bedrooms so you can come and stay sometimes mum. D'aw.
YIKES. I feel so old.
