I was watching that airport security show from.australia and couldn't believe how many people were trying to bring in suitcases full of fresh meat from.abroad!I think processed cheese is ok if it's from a country with good food hygiene standards. We get people trying to bring in home cooked fish, plant materials for making tea and all sorts of tit.
Things like English black pudding can be imported, just not one that's been made by some dude at home.

Hi Becca
Hope you're okay today and have had some time to rest and process everything that's happened over the last while.
It sounds like you were successful in standing your ground to prevent the removal of your stuff, however imperfectly. So you can acknowledge yourself for this.
And now you've achieved a reprieve for four weeks, so how will you use that time?
If I were you, I'd start by asking for a written confirmation that nobody will attempt to visit you at home until that agreed date. And to ask for a copy of your tenancy agreement (you said you don't have it anymore).
I think you should seek expert help too. Get a GP appointment and put it in your health record that you are finding this housing situation distressing and give them evidence of its impact on your health. Get advice from Shelter -- they have a legal team who can help you with discussions with your landlords. Even a legal letter written to your landlords on your behalf might be helpful.
Ultimately, this four weeks is a good time to reflect on what YOU want and need. Because it sounds like this housing situation is not great for you, in terms of your longer health and wellbeing. So, take this opportunity to get your thoughts organised, reach out to experts, build links with neighbours and friends etc.
I know it's really tough.
I'm in temporary accommodation and it's awful. Haven't had a cooker for five years, can't open windows, flats infested with pests continuously, carpets rotten. It costs a fortune too. My council landlords harassed me about outstanding rent for ages which I couldn't understand because rent was paid and I had the records -- they drove me into absolute meltdown. Eventually, with the patient and hard work of an advocate, it was all unpicked and the council admitted they were wrong. But they've been trying to evict me over it.
Yesterday, I got another email from someone new asking me, again, to pay the outstanding rent. I mean.... it's just nonsense and now I have to prove all over again that there's nothing owing. It's just relentless and makes me ill with anxiety.
So you have all my sympathy. As much as these people are "just doing their jobs", it's the broken systems behind it all that grind us into the dust.
Keep your chin up, your backbone straight, and know that you can get through this, with some support. xx

Big fan of Firemite! Goes well with good cheese or even in a beef and tomato pot noodle. I limit how often I buy it because I get through a jar so quickly.
Happy Friday people. May it be a joy to all.

It's immensely pleasing to know that today is National Badger Day in England
Thank you for the reply. I cannot see GP, cost availability of advocate and them insisting I can only see one Dr is why. The distress is recorded due to being in crisis and services that have been involved. They demanded I let them in this coming Monday to discuss, so I’m not being left for four weeks. I must engage twice a week at least. They’ve no idea regarding lack of support. Nor how distressing this all is for me.
There was a meeting this morning and again I had landlord trying to stop me on street, however, I’m so unwell me saying “don’t, I can’t” meant they backed off. I’m sure being on the street crying was a big reason why - they’re big into charity for those they class as ‘deserving’ and, shouting at me last week did end up on FB I found out today and they do not come off well. It’s been deleted though (having an admin account from when FB had less than 100 members helps with stuff like that even though I don’t work for them anymore!
I’ve no plan. Literally trying to get through minute by minute, narrowly missed another police welfare check as pharmacy are extremely concerned. It doesn’t help that landlord is saying my advocate is a lying tit and the advocate is saying the landlord is lying...
Anyway, I’m going to try and celebrate harvest/thanksgiving monda, nowhere near what it sounds like - a couple of nice films, some nice food - yesterday moving some things I found some old Tesco vouchers most as still valid, it’s not a lot but something and prayer. Advocate/others that have been trying to help this past week are ALL away next week.
I’m so very sorry about your situation. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me and be kind. It meant a lot anyway, more so knowing you too are struggling. Take care.

Badger website won’t open, sadly, apparently I need to update my device.
But I will look at pics anyway via google!
Does anybody have any experience in applying to civil service? You need some sort of 750 document
My kids grew up watching his animations, we all used to use flash for animating then. Mine were and still are rubbish. I was better with gif
Yes that’s it, never done one, and no clue where to start.
Feel free to ignore this if it doesn’t work for you, but an old work colleague of mine had some good advice for this kind of thing, “make sure there’s a beginning, middle and an end“.
And along the same lines, talk about what you’ve done before, what you’re doing now, and what you’d like to do in the future (so how your experience ties into the position you’re applying for).
Again, feel free to ignore this if it doesn’t help. Good luck Captain X
I always like to chuck in as a weakness the need to feel appreciated for quality work. Now and again.
Wriggle out of that HR .

Im on struggle street with my stomach lately, so much nausea I can't sleep. I'm avoiding the MT for a bit in case I see some slop, not even joking.
Having a cat like Pooh is good and bad when I'm sick, he seems to focus on the part of me that's unwell and try to get as close to that part of my body as possible. Its ok if I'm lying on my side, he just snuggles in to my stomach but if I'm sitting he wants to sit on my guts. I have to get my husband to move him as he weighs a ton and I'm not supposed to lift over 5 kilos.
Thanks for listening to me whinge, Pocket Ninnies. Love to all

They say that cats purr has a healing ability and that is the reason why they do it . So that if they were injured they could help themselves so maybe that’s why Pooh is doing the same for youIm on struggle street with my stomach lately, so much nausea I can't sleep.

For sure, he does it when my husband is sick as well. If I have a headache Pooh will lie with his arms over the top of my head and his tail wrapped around my chin and neck.They say that cats purr has a healing ability and that is the reason why they do it .

He'd make a wonderful hospital cat but they can't have him, he's mine.
He always tries to cuddle the other cats as well, he's just a big snuggly Pooh Bear.

oh mate, I’m so sorry. Nausea in itself is exhausting, never mind not being able to sleep on top of that.
I agree with @hollywood of course Pooh is trying to help, but sometimes that misfires.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and take the nausea away from you, but I really hope you feel better soon X

Thank you, Sideboob. It is exhausting. I've been distracting myself with fat bears and Stefan Milo on YouTube.
Facturday, Stefan is an archaeologist who puts out really interesting vids about everything pre-history. The latest is about the first recorded name of a person and what their job was.
I love that kind of topic, plus you can tell Stefan is stoned AF when he records. Stoner archaeologist is just funny to me.
So sorry to hear that, my lovely. Had beeb meaning to ask how you were doing. Obviously not fantastic.Im on struggle street with my stomach lately, so much nausea I can't sleep. I'm avoiding the MT for a bit in case I see some slop, not even joking.

I take it that the tonic water didn't help then... Another to try us ginger beer (not alcoholic) to help with nausea. I wish I could make you feel better.
Cats make the best nurses - after my first major surgery, Mish spent four weeks glued to my side, only getting off for food and toilet breaks.
Sending love & healing thoughts.

Tonic water helps a bit but most days I need something stronger and ginger beer 'takes my breath away'. I take stemetil for nausea but it makes me so fuzzy headed and I've run out as well.
I'm thinking about getting a nausea band, my friend had one when she went on a cruise.
Those are fantastic distractions. A stoned archaeologist sounds like the best thing ever! These things are already so “WHOA”… I can’t even imagine the level of whoa when high!
Keep taking care of yourself sweet MCM, and you know we’re here X
