Yeah I know just woke up, been asleep all dayNah me pc is playing up!
Not letting me log on, mcafee went aol, couldnt access shared files and decided to disarm my firewall, great things these anti virus things :rolleyes:
Anyway....... went into council/benifits office today, spoke to nice chap, basically fill in benefit form, which I have done tonight so its all ready to go tomorrow, they will start prosessing it, then tell my landlords wahts happening, it can go either way, they accept waiting for benefits to come through and keep me on whilst i cant pay much, or evict me, or as I am doing look around for another property, Ive got a letting agent that let out to people working but getting benefits, but they have no 2 beds atm, they go quicker than chocolate in my house!!!
BUT im on the ball!!!
Damn I cant sleep these days, went to bed knackered out last night and was still awake at 2am, then the ducks and birds woke me up at6am!!!!0 -
Thanks for the info aimee, I have been told that by people, but its nice to come from someone that has been there as well, they were helpfull today, they can only help as long as you help yourself, best advice he gave me was be honest and open with everyone, keep everyone informed and it will work out, I know its not going to be easy, and ex is coming here this w/e to get a few belongings he left, so im not looking forward to that!
But hey lifes a beach0 -

i left when i was 17 so thats ooo about14 yrs ago now but my parents still live in cannington, i still have friends that live there but i havent visited in over 2 yrs now to be honest it always wasa a deprived area but as a child teenager going our it was always a cheap night out lol
is it just the centre thats bad coz wembdon and durleigh etc were always very exsclusive and costly to live are there any cheaper options around taunton havent been to taunton for ages but my friend lives in a terrace near sailsbury street? (road) and although it looks a bit naff when you drive to it it is really very nice and quiet, lots of terrace so landlords pardise
just a thought xxxxxxxxxx
