    thanks guys. Just heard back from my solicitor who is unwilling to do anything regarding representing me unless I pay him £500 + vat + expenses and that is with me entitled to legal aid. Have contacted council office homeless prevention team now and am waiting to see if they can help. Feel like crying but cant cause at work.

    Well, my jobs for today are:

    * I've split my wages into two bank accounts - one for bills and one for spending, which will hopefully keep me in the black this month
    * Made a list of stuff to put on ebay tonight
    * Stocked up on cat food from Pets at Home which is on special offer
    * Make appointment for a hair cut (I'm starting to resemble a poodle!!)
    * Update financial spreadsheet
    * Put my expenses claim in for approval at work

    Hugs Angelflower. Your situation sounds awful, I have no idea what to suggest (I thought legal aid meant you didn't have to pay :confused:) but I wanted you to know that lots of people here are thinking of you and willing and hoping that you will get some good advice. Have you been on the Homes board? :grouphug:

    As OliveOyl says thinking of you Angelflower and hoping it all works out and that you are ok physically. Relaxation must be impossible - no wonder you had a migraine yesterday :(
    Might not make much difference at all with migraines (but then this is what small things you can do) but try hunching your shoulders to your ears and then dropping them right down til u feel a stretch, tilt your head from side to side - putting ear to shoulder. It may just relieve a bit of tension and keep another migraine at bay... Sorry it's not much :(
