ty Katheryn I'm so sorry you had to go thru all that, it must have been heartbreaking ........ I've de-cluttered as much as i can .... downstairs is ok,it's the upstairs that puts people off ... bedrooms are small (built in the 1700's) my kids have instruments which take up room and they use them .....i will try the local council tho, ty. We are South Derbyshire and they usually relocate people to Swadlincote which is miles away from where my son is doing his A levels .... the schools are not good and he is at the best school in the area right now ....

i know we have a roof over our head right now, but it is killing us financially and the way things are going we will be in negative equity ........
