I think the time has come for legal advice.
Fairly sure I have enough evidence to go down the harassment route, have emailed the MP to let him know and asked the OT to be CCd into the email.

Need to get my happy face on, leave here in 20 mins to go home.

Found this now do I just raise a complaint or ask HA what their plans are following assessment and send them this.

Feeling sorry for myself must be bad as not even dyeing my hair has helped.

What's the point?

I wish I had advice, but all I can do is send massive hugs and hope things pick up. Have furry cuddles. Be kind to yourself.

hugs hugs hugs

Tomcat gave me a very languid love this morning which was lovely.

We are in our current properly through doing a mutual exchange. Different towns and landlords. Even if you don't want to move area you may find someone nearby with a different social housing landlord willing to swap.

It is a drawn out process, requires some expense (we had to pay £120 for gas and electric checks, landlord in other house did it free!) and requires the consent and approval of both landlords but it can be done.

Sure if you google there are some websites, a lot more than when we did it 9 years ago!

Hi KxMx we are registered with homeswapper to try and get a mutual exchange no one's interested tho.

It took a while for us to find a match, had a few false starts also but we got there in the end don't give up hope

Upsell your property and area, we put on ours a glowing description of the house, close to bus stop, close to high rated school, spacious drive for off road parking,etc, any selling point we could think of even if it didn't apply to us our thought was it may to others.

The people whose house we moved to almost didn't contact us because they thought we wouldn't want the area so emphasise your desire to move, any questions welcome etc.
