    I have a little expertise there. I spent three years sleeping rough around London from 2001 to 2004 due to mental health issues. At that time, there used to be lots of abandoned cars in the suburbs, so I would sleep in them, cover myself with newspapers and plastic to keep the warm air from my body in. If I couldn't find a car to sleep in I would look for a discarded Travelcard and try to get some sleep on the Tube and the nightbus. Also, I would sit in libraries with a book on my lap and try to get some sleep but the staff would always wake you up if they see you. One of the worst things about being homeless is not getting enough sleep. I was a lot younger then, probably wouldn't be able to survive it so well now.

    God my worst fear so vunerable that must have been so harrowing and you see the good and bad of people everyone going about there day like your invisible I always give money as it terrifying to be in that situation are you ok now with accommodation your a warrior surviving that there is a guy for 9 years he's been on the streets doesn't ask for anything he's so strong I always thought if we was all made homeless tomorrow we'd be asking him where to go how to survive but now people see him as invisible I see him as a warrior

    @Amberpearl I'm really sorry to hear Toby has crossed the rainbow bridge. Hope you get cremation sorted soon and as inexpensively as possible.

    It's 3 degrees today and raining. Doesn't feel any warmer!

    @Amberpearl, im so sorry to read about your loss. I understand how upsetting it is to lose a much loved pet. They become such an important part of our life. I've been really upset even when having to have my guinea pigs put down due to illness after 7 years. I had insurance for my dog who is 13yrs now but it became so expensive when he was 8ys I had to cancel the policy. I never claimed for anything yet the cost is horrendous. I hope the next part of your cats journey goes smoothly. I'm registered with the PDSA they do a wonderful job. I always believe that my much loved pets are still with me in spirit. Sending you a text hug.

    Morning everyone! Nice to see some new faces here too, welcome. 😁

    I'm so sorry to hear about Toby @Amberpearl it's always tough losing a furry family member like that.

    And apologies I was off for the weekend so couldn't answer your question about the Disability Energy Support team. They can't pay your bills for you, but they can help you manage costs, set up payment plans and generally help in a tonne of ways that I just know will be useful for you. So please send them a message when you feel able to, it's horrible knowing you're so cold.
