    I might get a cuppa in a moment though in my Iron Maiden mug. :D

    Tea in an Iron Maiden mug. So wrong, but it does make sense in a perverse way. :)

    Oooo snazzy! :D

    I have a few cups. I used to get silently annoyed with my ex because he never used to wash cups properly and they used to get stained. He was like "The stains won't come out". I proved to him hat they do. All you need is a little elbow grease. I tend to have a lot of upper body strength.lol.

    Hey Ladymortica,
    My gp did write a letter to the council but thats not good enough to them, they say Im not a priority.They say I can sleep in the living room and used it as a bedroom as one of the rooms cannot be used as a bedroom due to no window or ventilation. My son sleeps in my room and there is not enough room for a 2nd bed. He is a little scared to sleep on his own especially with all the noise that we hear, plus things my son has gone through has left him a bit traumatised but he is due to see a family therapist which may help him with his sleeping and what his gone through. The council suck!!!! How can they think its ok to share a room with a 6 year old. He needs his own room as he will eventually become settled.But they do not see it like that.

    Im trying to better my life but its so hard.I know it wont be like this forever but even with my mental health they do not see how its affecting me more by living where I am. I have the worse landlord you could think of. He has been issued with a letter from the council to change the front door which he hasnt done.He is a very greedy and unproffesional thing, he isnt even human most times. I believe in what goes around comes around but only in time will he get what he deserves.

    My solicitor I got is just as bad.She is so useless and slow. I contacted an mp kind of person who is the local councillor or ward person whatever they call them but he is just as bad.
    They really make you struggle and suffer but they dont care. Im not giving up my hopes tho hun, oneday I will have my own home that I can call home and then I will stick my 2 fingers up to them.Hugs to u aswell xx

    That's terrible. If I was on the council I would definitely be treating you as a priority. All these people don't see you on a day to day basis. They don't know what you and your son have to go through so they can't possibly judge whether you are a priority or not. They make me so mad.

    It's great that you still have hope hun and that's the best thing. Never give up and keep on at them until they listen to you. Sound like a broken record if you have to. They have a duty to help you and right now they are not doing that.

    Your landlord sounds incompetent. I hope everything does get all sorted out as soon as possible. Have they given you a possible time frame?

    Never give up.

    OOps I have to correct myself. just done 2 online questionaires and answered as truthfully as possible. Got diagnosed as clinicaly depressed:confused: . As I say I answered truthfully but I think it shows how subjective these questionares are. In reality I hope the doctors ask one hell of a lot more but these were saying I should troll along to my doc which frankly is worrying as it would tie up the NHS which prevents the real needy getting help.:mad:
    Maybe I need support after all

    I find the online depression quizzes to be inaccurate in a lot of cases. It is always best to go to a doctor who knows your background and you feel comfortable with to get checked out to be honest. I'm lucky in the respect that my doctor and I have a great relationship and she empowers me. :)
