Morning all,
Spoke to CC friend last night and some good advice from him, and local councillor called me this morning. I have emailed him the letter to the council that I posted on here last week and he said he and the other 2 local councillors for my ward will 'put their heads together' and see what they can do to help:D .Christians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -
Good news MoT,
Hopefully the councillors putting their heads together will result in a bit of action for you!

Hi MOT
So glad that councillors are finally trying to offer some help. Your Daughters Post are wonderful and both your children are a credit to you, give yourself a huge pat on the back.
I am keeping you in my thoughts and have you managed to sort out anything to wear to the wedding yet?
PM me maybe I can offer some help or maybe a voucher to help you get something. It wont be much but as the old lady who weed in the sea said "every little helps":j I have a persecution complex. Everytime I pass a shoe shop they persecute me till I buy them:j0 -

Hi for all of you who have read post 300 -
i-t is a wonderful man who I met again after 20+ years apart - we were too young to know that we were right for each other:o BUT after being down here for a couple of months we found each other again:smileyhea . He has been so helpful but has problems of his own to sort out. Unfortunately he doesn't have space to put us up but he would if he could:AChristians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -
