The Night When Everything Happened

After finally managing to be more functional I went to the supermarket late at night. I'm always wary going to this one at this time since they have a policy of closing the manned checkouts and leaving only the self-checkouts open, with one person supervising them. A bunch of people turn up to the supermarket …

Court Mondays

I had the second eviction hearing today! So the landlord and his wife did not comply with any of the instructions issued by the judge in the first hearing! They had failed to get a witness statement from the council. Instead what they got was a letter from the council. They hadn't realised that 'witness …

Second Eviction Court Hearing

I have my second court hearing tomorrow to see if I am able to get the eviction notice cancelled. The landlord has had seven weeks to get a written testimony from the council to support the argument that the council served me with the correct version of the How To Rent booklet (on behalf of …

Final Statement To Tribunal

Today I received in the post a copy of a final statement submitted by the benefits advisor to the PIP tribunal after the hearing (which was an unexpected pleasant surprise!)— a last-ditch effort to sway the judge in my favour: Robin is a very complex individual who even though highly intelligent has an array of …

Legal Porn

I went to the court today, still wondering if the solicitor would be there (no contact since December 24th) but I couldn't bring myself to be the one who emailed since he has to be professional enough to do that if necessary. We had our prior arrangements and unless I hear otherwise I always stick …

A Year Of Bullshit

The last year has been so unbelievably difficult…it's been one thing that all of my regular social contact is through text, phone call and video call for two years, but that was getting me a long way. The friends I had made and been in contact with were so incredibly helpful and supportive. But over …

The PIP Tribunal Is Coming…

I finally have a date for the tribunal to appeal the decision on my application for Personal Independence Payment 👀 (1st February). The stakes are high. Success would mean: I would be eligible for a higher rate of housing allowance from the council which would mean that Launchpad could house me in my own place.I …

The Plods Come Marching…AGAIN!

Seriously, I have enough I'm dealing with…with OCD, trying to accomplish things, and I was lying on my bed recovering from the stress of it all having finally managed to wash, when… knock knock knock What the fuck. Knocking on my window again, seriously? I waited… knock knock knock Checked my security camera feed…black vests …

Happy ChristmASMR

A friend sent me pictures of themselves on a sunny beach eating ice cream on christmas day. I wanted to respond with something in such stark comparison as to appear satirical, to demonstrate the difference between our christmas day scenes. When I went outside I wasn't disappointed. On christmas day I didn't wake up until …

I Don’t Like The Drugs But The Drugs Like Me

Yesterday the thought occurred to me to go back meticulously through my security camera recordings from the several days before November 6th, as this was when my box of moving boxes (bought for me by the Salvation Army) was mysteriously stolen from the living room where I'd left it against the wall. It was a …
