Hi morning Tink,

Great news on the important side of paperwrk getting what you entitled to.

As for help with things i am on Fb and go on ABCD selling site but advertise if anyone giving away .

I just had a friend sell fride and washer, cutlery and plates £50 the lot and i was interested for my son who 17 left home but no place yet. Only without anywhere to move into i cannot store anything so its difficult . What a bargain though.

If you can add me i think i can link you. Inbox your area and am sure can try find something.

Theres Gumtree? And net mum sites which i am with . If you advertise you would any freebies and there is free ads too only not sure if certain areas.

Cannot think off top head other sites. I do know lots and have lots connections xx

Bedroom thing , you do know it is not called bedroom Tax ? I watched it on This Morning yesterday with phil & holly.

It is a reduction in Housing Benefit dependant on property type with how many bedrooms.

There is a size to help if you have a bedroom 9ft x7ft or less it is not classed as a bedroom but yet if on your contract when getting council or federation house it is what it says on contract no matter the size (unfair) .. Why because my house 'was' a council property classed as 3 bedrooms yet the 3 rd is 9ft x 7ft .

Too late on me now as mortgaged and what a worthless piece of bricks n mortar it is .

Hope this helps

You can phone up and find out from your council xx

Hi,

sounds very positive, I hope you get the higher level.

I drop things far too often and after a few nasty moments with my kettle, I use a kettle tipper which I thoroughly recommend.

Hugs

Hi tinkerbell, just a thought, have you got a little saucepan with a rubber handle, how about just boiling enough for one cup, it might be easier to handle. Or if not and you can manage a kettle in your stronger moments why not make a flask of tea or coffee tolast you the day? that way when you are not up to it you will still have a hot drink to hand.

[ladymoth]

That's great tip, spidey - I'm going to do that! Saves on the 'leccy, too.

I know what form you are talking about for help with the bedroom tax, as my sister got it from the local council office,. cant remember what it is you ask for , but I'll check and get back to you

[jayjayboy]

Hi, Ive just checked and if you go to your local council office and ask for A Discretionary Housing Payment form. It is to help people that have very low incomes. I think if you are awarded it. it is for 6 months.then you may have to claim again. Hope this helps

[tinkerbell66]

[LaurieLee]

Hi Tinks, so sorry you are having such a rough time to put it mildly. Jus to let u know that I previously put in for discretionary housing benefit form. If you could do it ASAP or maybe someone could phone on your behalf. You sound like you could do with HUGE HUG flying thru the waves at you. Love Laurie x
