PIP Tribunal

Well that couldn't have gone any worse. It'll take me some days to even process it and think of words to describe it! It was so bad that both Sarah and Kevin really had to be quite critical of them by the end, standing up for me, in heartfelt terms. They had to. They openly … Continue reading PIP Tribunal →

Could I Sue My Landlord? 🤔

The landlord came round today, as they've done many times lately with housemate F moving out (they're always back and forth for a week after anybody leaves), and I happened to notice the camera notifications just after returning to my room and lying down on the bed. Firstly I was uneasy at just how close … Continue reading Could I Sue My Landlord? 🤔 →

They've been designed to be effortless to change which has the effect of enhancing your security, as I found out. … Continue reading An Expensive But Valuable Lesson On Security →

A Paragraph Which Says A Lot

I followed up my email with this: A big difficulty I've known I would have with finding my own place is that I'm not going to be able to get a good reference from my current letting agent, given the irrational abuse and harassment they subjected me to, even physical assault, accusations of growing weed, … Continue reading A Paragraph Which Says A Lot →

My New Housing Crisis

Turns out the council failed to share with me the conclusion to the Homelessness Prevention Assessment they did with me on the phone on 7th July. At the time in my weekly meetings with my Salvation Army Tenancy Support person, in response to questions about it, I mentioned that I hadn't heard anything back from … Continue reading My New Housing Crisis →

Up On The Gallows

Landlord, hi—What are you doing here? First time? Wh-wh…what? He's had me up here already,But do you know what he did? …What?? He shipped me here to Mars, But…why, why are we here!? Lower gravity; In one-third gravity your body weight alone is not enough to break your neck,So you choke to death, slowly. (You … Continue reading Up On The Gallows →
