I love my flat

Been concerned about new rules for so called 'Social Housing' by this new spending review, glad I'm an existing tenant, your house is your home and not everyone can afford or wants to commit to a mortgage. Why is SH seen as the resort of the poor? Or the terminally unemployed? I've lived in these flats for going on 2oyrs and they are my home, I do not want to be re housed or have them demolished because my 'Social Landlord' can't be bothered to look after them. This is my family home where my children were brought up where I celebrated many highs and lows in my life, why am I seen as a social outcast because I want to continue living here, or I love living here? More so called SH is needed not less. Look at how many people have lost there homes through over extending themselves by buying property. Not all of us can afford to, or want to get ourselves into debt to be able to do so.
Anyhow, enough of that. I just love where I live and don't want to leave, not every high rise tenant is miserable about it, for some of us it's a lifestyle choice, okay.

About Me

Keighley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a 61yr old woman new to this blog thing so don't really know what I'm doing yet, so bear with me if things go wrong. I am looking forward to my retirement in 2014 and spending more time with my grandson seeing more of my family and friends and being able to have time to myself to indulge in my favourite pastimes..
