Hi @Lisa82. Please don’t apologise. The most important thing is that you feel able to reach out when you want and need to.
We are well thank you and glad you are also well. It sounds really difficult that you are having housing problems at the moment though.
Would anything, in particular, help you to be reassured about what’s happening whilst waiting for the council to respond to you?
Wishing you the best of luck with this. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support you through this difficult time.
It sounds positive that you are also looking out for other private accommodations just in case. It sounds like a great idea to have a backup, just in case!
Take care for now and we will look forward to hopefully hearing from you again soon. Please note, I hope you are staying warm and safe too

Oh, don’t I know about being autistic in a neurotypical world @Elysium! How are you managing it all at the moment?

You are doing really well to even want to keep your head above water @Elysium! I can hear your boat has huge issues.
Would you like to talk about any of this further with us? We are all here for you and listening to you if you would like to share more with us.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to support you and make things less dark. You don't have to face this, or anything else, alone if you don't want to.

I'm not actually sure what would reassure me whilst waiting for the council's response.
I am staying warm and safe, thank you.
Anyway take care and stay warm 💖 -

The main jobs atm are:
1) I have to siphon/decant propane gas from a 19kg tank to a 13kg tank as brexit has caused huge delay with import of 13kg bottles and my gas locker only fits 13kg
2) rewire my new bilge pump to the 12v system - probably adding a switch - and pump out some of the thousands litres of water

Done #2 this morning (not a poop lol - my list above) writing it here really helped thanks L for the suggestion and I pumped out about 4000litres of water that had been sitting in her bilge making me mentally ill for years - was glorious watching the water pump overboard and out FINALLY - THANK YOU So much for the support & encouragement

Really glad to hear that we are all being supportive still. Even if we can't always help, we can always listen to each other.
@Puja - Would you like to tell us a little more about what you are experiencing at the moment? It sounds like you are having a really hard time with motivation, grief, and, perhaps, burnout tooCommunity Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's.
