Topics discussed include interviewee's early life, living in Granton, Corporation and maintenance of the accommodation and outside space.

INTVEE is married with three children and lives in a house with a kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. Two children share one of the bedrooms and she and her husband share the other bedroom with their youngest son, aged 12. She doesn't like this arrangement but couldn't put all the children in the same room and won't put a bed in the living room as the council thinks she should do. The INTVER wonders why she didn't put bunks in the bedroom as she had said she had planned to do in their previous house. The family were offered a house in Granton or Niddrie, she wanted neither but she had no other choice, they were previously in a single end house which she owned but it got too overcrowded after the birth of their third child. She didn't like moving to Granton, it was rough and tough but the house had an extra room. INTVER notes that she complains extensively about the council's neglect of the district: They won't cultivate or build on the waste land at the corners, it runs waist high with weeds; the house hasn't been painted since they moved in. The nursery school however has been painted three times and the garden is tidied every week. She wanted the corporation to pay or help pay for a little shed in the front garden for the children's bicycles but it involved too much red tape so she gave up. She has had a year long battle with the corporation to repair her lavatory which leaked. She says she tries to mobilise the local community but gets very little response. She has been offered a new maisonette house in Muirhouse which she thinks is lovely, but only if she takes her parents in. INTVER respects her tremendous strengths and defensive system. She believes in reincarnation and worries no one will look after her.
