@Dreamy That’s great Caspar had his final puppy vaccination today 🙂 I’m sorry you are not feeling great. I do hope that you get some relief today.
I had an awful housing appointment. The service is supposed to help pay for removalist for furniture, rent in advance and carpet clean. They’re currently only offering rent in advance and I literally do not have any money to move. They are funded by government to pay for the whole thing. It’s left me feeling worse and the staff member was totally not interested. I’m in a living nightmare. Having an awful day so far I feel terrible.

@Cuddlebear awww sweet, I'm so sorry to hear that they weren't helpful other than offering the rent in advance. Is it possible to contact someone higher in the department to get the situation investigated? I know it's not ideal and the last thing you should even have to do given that they are supposed to help.
I know things are so hard for you right now and I wish it wasn't like this. Please know that you are not alone and we are here for you. Sending you hugs ♥️

@Dreamy Thank you for understanding and for being here online. It means a lot to me.
I will have to see how I can contact a senior manager and ask them and try and advocate. I really don’t have the money. I live from disability pension to disability pension and there’s not enough to cover those costs at all. I have no spoons for all this so it’s going to be hard but I’ll try to do it.
Doing my best but it’s not enough 😞

@Cuddlebear i get it, I'm only on the disability pension aswell so I live fortnight to fortnight and there's just nothing left over at the end. I really hope you can get the support you deserve right now cos it's just not fair.
Your best is and always will be good enough but i know it doesn't feel that way when things are so hard.
Keep going sweet and I hope better days are ahead for you ♥️
