Hi Albie - Welcome to the forum and I genuinely hope you are in a more stable position accommodation wise now.

 

[Albie01]

Yeah I'm getting there very slowly you what councils are like they seem to take there time. I'm a single guy so I will be on a waiting list for God knows how long mate, but I'm used to it I don't claim anything at all there's people in a lot worse situation than me mate. I'm one of those guys that puts others before me it's just the way I am

[Danceswithhelicopters]

There's a story there. I'm sure we'd love to hear it... Especially if you could share what really worked when you had to live outdoors and it wasn't a bushcraft lifestyle choice.

 

[TeeDee]

I'd like to think through the power of community in his area we could help or assist Albie in someway.

Not that he has asked for help , but the strong rarely do.

 

[Albie01]

I'm sorry but you really want to know what it's like to be homeless living day by day I think that people need to walk in my shoes for a moment and yeah I'm a size 15.

 

[Tengu]

Oh, at that size you could live in them, eh?

(Ignore me, I am rude).

Arent the MOD helping?
