Welcome to the community @Autism_at_40 I can see that you've been finding your way around the community already, which is great!
How's your weekend been going so far? I understand that things are quite challenging for you at the moment. -
Hello @Tori_Scope,
Well, I struggle to get up. I feel like I need more sleep than usual which is normally 8+ hours.
I've been trying to work out what to do, storage quotes, and when I finally pushed myself to get up, I've had to start packing.. 3 days left....
Not easy when I feel so comfortable here and I'm having to just eat snacks as I've been banned from cooking... -
Who's banned you from cooking @autism_at_40?
I hope that you managed to get a good night of sleep last night -
My sister has banned me from cooking in the flat.
Last hot meal I had was thursday when I bought KFC.. not exactly healthy.
I'm not sleeping well at all... -

Has she said why she's banned you from cooking in the flat @Autism_at_40?

@Tori_Scope
Well, shes annoyed at me cos I didnt give her my cos of living payments (I was saving them for bond, rent, furniture, moving costs etc). So she said until i give her money I'm not allowed to cook.
She also is withholding the belongings of mine she put in storage. Citizens advice say she cant do that, but i know she'll blow a gasket if i tell her that..
I really need help 😥
