Lunacy at the Council

My mum, who is 82 years old, has just been told by the local council that, after waiting for a year, she has been given an old folks bungalow. She is thrilled as it means she can move much nearer my brother and me. However, when the housing manager was asked about timeframes she suggested that my mum should move from her old house to her new one within 2 weeks. This is after living in her current house for nearly 50 years, so just a little bit of clearing out and packing to do! Also, removals to be organised, utilities to be informed, carpets to be fitted, curtains to be made etc. etc........

Dont'cha just love local authorities? Negotiations will continue.......
