So had an email from housing needs saying my homeless application has now been approved and they have a duty of care to take care of my situation within a certain period of time. I am currently in band B medical and they hope to upgrade this to A once environmental health complete their report ( for illegal eviction ) has anyone been through this and can give some notes on how the process was. I understand it still could be a while before resolved and I'm fine with that it's just how did people cope in a hotel room over a period of time what did they do to break up days? It's weird at 51 becoming a single fella again and sat in a hotel with suitcases and eating out every meal. Cheers

Hey @Will777, I'm glad to hear some movement has been made in getting you a place and you now have a hotel room and food.

If I was in your situation I would personally head down to the local library (if it's not been shut down at least) and take out a few books. Or even read them there to get me out of the room. I think staying in the room all day probably isn't in your best interests! Often if you have a local library they'll also have computers there for internet access to help with forms and more as well. Rather than having to do it all on a phone if you don't have a laptop.

I'm not sure what else I would do, I guess I'd try to walk around more. I'd go crazy just sitting in the hotel room all day, even with books to read!
