Smeg I am knackered. I just got in from Chester after a fairly long day. As planned, I met Lyn at Chester railway station, and together we went to the council housing offices. There we filled in a joint application for a home. So that’s it; what last week was a rather hazy idea in my head is becoming concrete. I know it’s not that simple, and this will take ages to come to fruition, but I feel more prepared than eveer to take up real independence.
