And the only thing that we never thought of was my husband, as I told ya was a painter and he was working on houses that were on eh were being built excuse me and were suppose to be getting one of the new houses. Where were we going to stay because we had no apartment to stay. We couldn’t stay with his mother his mother had a shop and then eh my mother had no room for an extra person coming in. So my mother in law had a first cousin living in Thomas Davis Avenue in Blackpool, and he had three bedrooms and then like a kitchen you know and a hall to go out to the back garden. An eh she said wouldn’t ye go down and stay there until em until the ,the your houses that are ready like there only on the plan now like when you go out. But eh ten months after I had my oldest son. I got married on the 3rd of August and he got married eh or sorry he was born on the last day of May the following year.
