Agree on everything. During the events of the diary she already moved out of her former house and is living in the hotel (where she met Neil). Due to the "hurry" thay had to sell, I assume that at that point they should be selling (if not already sold) it to the Royces. I (myself) assume that the current events of diary is 1-2 before MC birth (9 months easily goes to pregnancy, so about 1 year and 3 months - if I'm not mistaken, since she started the diary at her 18th birthday, already has passed 4-5 months, because she says that her friends will come to visit in the summer, it's fair to assume that when she wrote that wasn't summer yet.)Let's put it like this. You may very well be right in this and Miranda really is Bianca's mother. The unfortunately likely explanation for the diary is that DPC made a mistake and it's a straight up plot hole.
It's true that we do not know how long before MC's birth the diary events take place, but since the Royces bought the house 19 years ago, there can't be that much of a gap. MC is about 2 months past his 19th birthday at that point so Lynette must have been pregnant when the Royces bought the house. Lynette's family moved out of the house because they were selling it. I don't think you can fit multiple years between the diary events and the house being sold.
Also the fact that Neil and MC lived in poverty is a point against Neil and Lynette building up finances to afford raising a family.
Another fact is that Neil and Lynette never got married so it's more likely that they ran away precisely because she got pregnant and planned to get married when the baby was born.
Neil and Lynette following sensible plans doesn't really fit the facts we have.
It is stated that Lynette is 18 during the diary events.
