Im on job seekers just. and already owe them a good bit from a previous budgeting loan!

Yeah the house was furnished when i moved in.

But the bed was mine. will his insurence cover my items aswell? or just his own? because i dont have any insurence.

Even if its all covered on his? i cant really live without a fridge,cooker etc?

will they give me money for a cooker, microwave etc? i doubt they will give me anything for a tv xbox etc thats classed as entertainment.

Whats my best course of action tomorrow then?

No, your LL's insurance will not cover your items.

Please don't even ask for a tv or xbox! :rotfl:

If you have a look at Freecycle, you may find someone giving away a cooker/ microwave etc. Even if the SSA offer you a loan for a cooker or microwave, they will not cover both. You do not need both. You are unlikely to get a loan for a fridge unless you have a medical need for one.

Of course i did. It wasnt a break in the tradional sense, more of a 'looking for someone' nobody in, so, the house gets trashed!

Got a ref number so ill bring that down to them tomorrow too.

why bother getting anything new then? it will only get trashed again before christmas.
Perhaps you should pay whoever is looking for you what you owe.
I just hope your landlord is gonna be ok with all the damage to their property as you may have bigger things to worry about than a fridge and an xbox.

A misconception is that it is spelt "the brew," and a further misconception is that the origins of this are down to where a large portion of the money was spent.

The word is actually "the buroo" and comes from the "employment bureau" which people decided to refer to in this manner, removing the employment altogether (there's scope for a joke there) and a vowel.

Indeed;)

House trashed because you have clearly p!ssed someone off? No matter, just look to your helpful benefit office to furnish it (even though you shafted them for money before and have clearly been spending the HB instead of giving it to the landlord)

Understood. I did a couple of tours over there in the late 70's.
