today i received the keys to my new flat. 2 doors away from where i live now, and built at the same time as my current property.
it also has a fully landscaped garden complete with large patio atra and garden shed

Great, and glad about the garden and "upstairs gardener"!

lsong 1/5th of your total cash income, merely because you have a bedroom that you neither use or want is a difficult thing to adjust to when you only Hadd £100 in the beginning.

i manage very well indeed and have always been very good with money, but when you have benefit reduced with no other alternative accomodation, it seems very unfair.

lighting up the chalice ... as ive told you before, there is no shortage of housing in my area, apart from one beds.
the flat i am moving to was only classified for general use last week. until then there were NO 1 bed social housing. now in a population of around 10,00 we now have two 1 bed properties.

and i also know that the person moving into my flat is a single person with no children, as the HA asked them to give up the 1 bed place so that i could have it.
ok he works so wont claim HN.
but still not freeing up property for families...
or doesnt that matter if people are overcrowded as long as ge pays the rent himself?

Hmmmmm.... (cough)Bullshlt(cough).

well you seem to see the screen,however I'm not so sure

You really don't know anything about this, do you? Blind people (I'm using "blind" rather too generally, possibly) can use screen reading software and speech recognition software. These though are not perfect even separately and also may conflict (technical stuff cut). What is obvious is that nanny can't use the keyboard normally at all easily -- leading some buffoons to call her illiterate, though her typos are not the work of an illiterate, at all.

did the speech recognition software do that?

i do touch type, to keep in practice and because i hate all the 'voices' my PC has and only use them to read.

if i go wrong though ... i go really wrong

but i have been told that some people find it interesting deciphering some of my posts!

Your typos are often fun! As you'd expect, you tend to hit the next letter along.

Good, the garden will make having a guide dog a possibility.

I'm pleased to see you've already thought of this.
