Here we can all be heard for a little while

I am penguining this because it's to do with a funeral, but it's nothing major unless someone has a particular trigger.

Today I have been to the funeral of a person I used to support for nearly 20 years before the home was closed and he had to move on. Oddly enough, going along has made me feel better rather than sad - the distant relative who made the arrangements thought he'd be the only person at the service. No-one from the home the person had moved to showed up, either staff or residents, which I thought was very strange given that he'd lived there for a year. So when a load of us ex-staff showed up the relative was pleased to see us, the eulogy was spot on as the vicar had got hold of the life book we'd put together with him, and it turned into a good send off, if funerals can ever be said to be such a thing. I'm glad I found out about it and managed to round everyone up who I thought would want to attend. It would have been a very sad goodbye otherwise, and he deserved better.

End of Penguin. And I feel surprisingly ok.

No specific disabled housing code MIL'S is adapted bungalow current property is a ground floor 2 bed flat. The one we wanted to move to is exactly the same as our current property just underneath a single working bloke so less noise.

Frustrated because I have told shelter and MP what HAS game is (keep throwing stuff in until I give up) and until now they obviously didn't believe me.
Suggesting again that we make ourselves homeless when OH has mental health issues that mean he needs stability and I have a neurological condition where routine is of vital importance means they are also not actually listening.

Have contacted some solicitors and sent shelter a link to a housing ombudsman decision where the HA was made to offer alternative accommodation due to ASB and health issues

Not eaten and OH had to help me in the shower cos I greyed out.

I officially give up, what us the point? they are determined to render me unemployable.

Hello LIR!

You're brave, wearing heels!

faerielight

thanks guys.. I'm sure the "positively contributing " rule is disability discrimination! I got my MP onto it 6 months ago but she couldn't overturn it.. in my area, they will wavewr the amount of hours I do, but they have just put it up from having to have worked for 6 months, to 9 months before you're allowed to bid, and that they won't waver for the disabled.. I wouldn't mind if they saved the ground floor flats for the disaled and banned me from bidding on flats with stairs but what they are doing is offering the nicest flats to people who are contributing and that mostly includes ground floor flats with gardens.. Each surgery I hsve takes 18 months of recovery, but if I'm to get out of my sewage pit, I'll have to find s voluntry job in 3 months, to be able to bid on those flats in a year's time.. it is so craxy and unfair.. re my sewage pit, the enviromental health say they are willing to step in and put pressure on the andlord, but they said 99% will get evicted , so at the moment I can't risk losing the roof above my head..

How do I post pictures on here, guys? I want to put a cat pic up! I had a look but I could only find out how to post a URL, not pics from my computer.. can you help me guys? your animal pics cheered me up yesterday x

Hi Faerie,

You need to set up a photo bucket account. You then upload your picture to your photo bucket account. You either do that by uploading the photo from your computer or it gives you an email address when you set up your account that you can email the pictures to.

Once your picture is uploaded, click on the picture. It then gives you a little bar with a fbook icon, a twitter icon and what looks like a chain link paper clip type thing. Click on the chain link paper clip thing and that will give a selection of links to copy and paste. You want the bottom one, IMG. Copy the link.

Then on here, compose your message, and click the little mountains picture frame icon on the top bar. That should open a window asking you for the URL of your image. Delete the http bit that is already in there, and paste your link. I think you can delete the

Morning my Lovelies,

Don't ask. Was out walking at about quarter past 5 this morning :rotfl:

My back is killing me after all that lumping about of bags of yesterday.

I have been offered help by someone with the garden. They have asked me not to struggle. But I am strange I really don't like taking help from other people. I think I have been so use to doing everything for myself and when I have asked for help. People say yes and it never happens.

Need to think about going to have a shower and wash my hair.

Anyone who needs hugs, handshakes or squishes they are on hand. And I will make sure that the fort is all nice and snuggly for all.

Yours

Calley

Yes, I can tell you how to do it from an iPad.
Don't know if it's the same for other tablets, though!

To do it from an ipad. Sign up to photobucket, upload photo(s), chose photo you want to put on here and click on it, to the right of the photo will be 4 different links, copy the IMG one and then just simply paste it into your message.

Don't think I've ever posted a photo of physco cat, so here is a test to see that what I've put above does actually work! :rotfl:

Cute kitty does not approve of camera

So I've been getting really into my running app (Zombies, Run!!), and I went out with OH last night.

He's a far better runner than me so we usually walk up to the giant park together, then split up, do our runs (some walking in my case) and meet up afterwards in the car park. All was going well, until...

...I saw a path I'd never been down before and thought "oooo that looks interesting". Cue me going almost 2.5k in the wrong direction (away from the meeting point) and up a hill! As OH didn't have his phone, I had to call a friend to pick me up so I wasn't half an hour late and worrying OH silly.

If I'd been on my own, I would have just walked till I found a road and got my bearings, but I didn't want OH to worry

Must remember I have no sense of direction, and stick to the paths I know!
