finaly in a homeless shelter

[gregcool]

over the last 16 months iv moved from pillar to post sofa surfing etc after splitting up with my wife after 15 years of marrage.5 days ago i was given a place in a homeless shelter.its a 4 bed house of which i share a room with three other guys.bunk beds.i love it breakfast dinner all done for you.and they are working to help with my housing aplication.so hopefully will get my own place in time.thats the plan.you are there for 30 days and if they havnt found you your own place by then you are out again for 30 days to give others a chance to get off the streets.then after 30 days you go back in and so on..fingers crossed ill get my own pad in time.things are hopefuly looking up for me now after a very stressful 16 months of hell

Greg, reading this has just put all my worries into perspective. I hope this turns a corner for you and you can get yourself back on track again. Small steps to hopefully big rewards.

Hi Greg, I have been away for a few days so have only just seen this thread. I am pleased that things are looking better for you and that you are getting help in finding accommodation. I know it hasn't felt like it at times for you over the past 16 months but you have coped really well. I know that at times it has been hell for you but you have got through it...keep positive, it is getting better and will get easier. :hugs::hugs::hugs:

[gregcool]

I went to Carlisle. I meet up there once a year with 2 friends that I used to work with. Weather was perfect and we had a lovely time. I am so much better now, feels strange to be relaxed :D

[Tessar]

When I first read the subject of your thread, Greg, I thought "oh no" bit actually, I felt reassured after I read your first post here. I am hopeful and rooting for you. Glad too that it sounds like you are getting some decent help (not only with practical day to day stuff like meals.... But the all important step of finding somewhere more permanent to live). It was really nice to hear you sound positive. Fingers crossed for you!

Also, moving 5 times..... That is difficult enough because they do saying moving house is one of the most stressful things you can go through...... I has really been a nightmare for you, Greg.

[gregcool]

thankyou guys for all your possitive coments helps me a lot...i just want to be settled in my own place and have my own front door.one way or another they have told me i will get my own place.thrte are two ways i can get it...first way is i get awarded more points on my housing for my mental health,giving me enough to bid on a property and win the bid.at the moment i only have 15 points and have no chance of winning any bids.if my mental health letter and letter from my local MP and doctors.iv been told i could get around 25-30 points.if that happens ill be able to get a one bed flat in time.the other option if i dont get awarded any points the will refere me to rent aid.which is where they pay the deposit and rent uo front.it would be private ren.so i would prefere to get the points and get a council property.fingers crossed for the points.so one way or another ill get a flat
