Writing a diary is so much easier with the thought that someone who understands might actually read it. Today was hard. I had to go and see my housing worker who is a very intimidating woman to get the money to move away from my abusive ex husband who I'm living in a flat with because i thought it was best for my kids and all the usual abused woman reasons (makes me feel so pathetic), But anyway, met with her afer she changed the appointment time twice, then she told me that she couldn't come to the office of housing with me to do the bond loan application ( I suffer from an amazing public transport phobia and have no car) and then i get the application form home and find out that the loan itself takes 3 days to process and i'm meant to sign the lease tommorrow. So Now I'm so scared I'll lose the flat, even though I can give them the first months rent already. And I feel really abandoned by someone who was meant to help me because she knew about the rental property on wednesday and could have told me about the 3 day thing and that i'd have to go and do it myself.
Sigh. So now I'll have to try and drag myself out of bed in the morning, probably on 3 hours sleep,go to centrelink, go to office of housing, face all these starngers and beaurocracy. I'm scared. Very scared. But I want to do it for my kids.
Also so so scared about loosing the flat - does anyone know anything about this? Think that I will? Help, Please

I would call the office of housing and lodge a complainte about you housing officer. Tell the office of housing you need it processed asap as you are in an abusive situation, paid a months rent and you need to get the kids out of this abusive situation.

Go to centrelink and do what you need to do and then hope and prayer for things to work out for you.

I know it is scary and you could have panic attacks (I have them as well) but you need to get these things done for you and the kids. Be brave and strong and you will get through it.

Go Psyche!!!

Hi Psyche,

I have had the same deal with bond loans not coming through in time, as long as you tell the agent/landlord when you sign the papers it should be fine. They probably wont give you the keys til they get the bond but I really don't think you will lose the flat.

Good luck :)

Best wishes from Kitty
