    Hi @monsieur I don't think we've spoke before, but its lovely to meet you.

    Thank you for your kind words about England and I'm sorry to hear the lockdown stopped you from travelling to Poland.  Let's keep our fingers crossed for the vaccine roll-out going smoothly and then who knows what the future holds for you! 

    Take care and please let us know if ever you need any help  :)

    Hi @monsieur

    The claim that covid vaccines will change a person's DNA is scientifically incorrect.  You can read this BBC article that explains why the rumour is untrue, and more about how vaccines safely work.  

    Glad to hear you want to stay in England too  :)

    Hi @monsieur

    I'm sorry about the delay in getting back to you about this.  Is the situation still the same?

    If you think you remain at risk of being made homeless, I'd strongly urge you to contact Shelter's free helpline for advice asap.  They'll be able to speak more about your personal situation and what's best to do going forwards.  Please let us know how you are and I hope everything is going ok.

    Yeah, i am getting evicted on monday because i can't claim benefits so landlord can't claim my housing benefit
    I am gonna stay at my friends back in Warwick for some time... But i think i will have to leave this country in next few months... I have got a friend who's got house in Sweden in the woods, and wants to take me there...

    Life of polish immigrant with pre-settled status is just too hard for me, and i am not even sure if i will be eligible for permanent status in the future.

    I'll be alright :)
    anyways hope you're all ok and i wish you good day

    @monsieur I'm glad to hear your friend has a place for you to stay but make sure to contact Shelter if there's a risk you could go without a roof over your head at any point.

    A house in Sweden in the woods eh? That sounds nice!  Let's hope the future has more stability for you and get in touch if you need any support.

    hello, thanks for warm words :)
    All i want to say that i haven't really cared about getting evicted... So i decided to give myself a challenge to walk all way from Birmingham to Hatton > Warwick and then Leamington Spa from Bham on Grand Union Canal.
    I left bham at sunday 8:30pm and came to Hatton in about 6am and Warwick 12am.
    It took me whole evening to walk out from Birmingham and there was Solihull... It was all snowy and frosty, my water turned into ice cubes!!!
    I did walk about 35 miles and it was great trip, i came back to my tent at 4:30pm and sleept there till morning today... I had proper rest cuz my body was all aching
