    Hi all,

    So I've been saving 800 per month for a mortgage for the past year. I’ve a good job and I'm a single mother to a 9 year old. I'm now pregnant with my second baby - the relationship turned toxic and I had to leave, so I'm feeling very vulnerable and upset. We both have good jobs and of course he promised me the world and said we would get a mortgage and build etc.

    Anyway. Here I am with no prospect of getting a mortgage on my own with two little kiddies. I live in an extention in my parents house and they are not pushing me to leave. However, there's no room for the second baby and he or she won't have a bedroom moving forward. I need my own home.

    I am on the council list for about 9 years for me and my son. I got offered an apartment while with the partner I just broke up with. However declined this, as I was under the impression we would buy. That's all I was offered in 9 years!!!!

    I need a home for my babies. I'm a really quiet girl, good income and my son is super quiet and kind. How do I go about getting on the list properly with the expectation we will get a home?!

    Feeling very upset and vulnerable so any advice is greatly appreciated.
