That’s just it really. I really need a cuddle but that’s not possible so can anybody just support me right now? My mental health is on the floor right now I’ve never felt as low it’s making me feel so ill

Oh Laura I am so pleased for you. Have they given any indication how long they will provide the hotel room for?
Such a relief for you and you should be so proud of yourself for having the courage to contact the MP and stand your ground 😁😁

Thank you AdmittowearingCrocs,
And thank you so much for giving me details of the contacts . I’m truly thankful.
I asked them what will happen next Friday as they can only book for 7day periods and they said they will just keep re-booking until in housed.
You know what I am proud! For the first time in my life I feel proud . But it was from the strength, support, hope and courage you all gave me that’s what helped me .
Im going to have a bath to celebrate 🙌 xx

You definitely did do it! We might have supplied the tools and the info, but you were the one that used them! It wasn't us on the phone standing up to the council, and inspiring people like your support workers and MPs to help you - that was all you! You have a core of steel!!

OMG!!!!!!! That is the best news!!!!!! In tears right now hearing that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did this LAURA!! With help, but you were the one on the ground doing it!

I know ! I cannot believe it .
All that fight, stress and everything else it paid off !
I don’t think I did it , this brigade did it !
You all gave me strength and courage that I didn’t have .
You gave me contacts I never knew about .
You gave me hope when I felt hopeless .
I couldn’t have done this without u all.
Thank you so so so much xx

Oh, that's so so wonderful, Laura! I knew there had to be an update when I saw 35 unread posts on here!! Just brilliant news 😁.

Huge well done for ringing the MPs office, I totally get that all these phone calls are horribly nerve wracking. I hate phone calls at the best of times so really feel for you, I do anything to avoid making a phone call! But I do know it's really the best way to get people on to things though and be that squeaky wheel. You've been so so brave.

Bless the cleaner for checking on you.

When you've had a chance to calm down, can you either nip to subway or ask the member of staff to get you something to eat?

The yellow leggy robovac does sound terrifying!!

ChoccieCornflake · 01/11/2024 13:54

@Imbluedalale and @TealPoet for the absolute win!!!!!

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 01/11/2024 13:51

I will put the trouser press back now ✔️✔️✔️✔️
This is fantastic news for now. Everything is definitely moving in the right direction.
And much applause to the PP who started this off by booking the room. What a superstar you are!

Ruralretreating · 01/11/2024 13:48

Hurrah! Sensible from council (at last!). Am so happy for you that you don’t need to stress about where to go tomorrow.

Make sure you email Dawn at MPs office to let her know outcome and more importantly thank her and Sally the MP for their help. That will be really appreciated I know. Written thank yous are great because they can be referred to later on as evidence of the value of that role/person. Same for your support worker

Munchyseeds2 · 01/11/2024 13:48

Laura that is the best news ever!!
It's made my day ❤xx

Nottogetapenny · 01/11/2024 13:46

You should be so proud of yourself, you did it! Hope that it will make you feel less stressed and hopefully make you feel a lot better. Have a good weekend and try to eat something to build your strength up. 🌸😘

UPDATE:

And I’m absolutely sobbing !

The manager of the council has just rang me (a different manager) and he said they are as we speak re-booking this room for me for the time being until something else is sorted ! OMG I can’t believe it .

Thank you to each and everyone of you that has made this happen , there isn’t enough thankyou’s in the world to express my gratitude 🙏 xxxxx

If they offer you something unsuitable, you call every person you can including the MP to let them know as it means the council are not listening to and working with the MP and professionals.
Hopefully it won’t come to that.

⬆️ This, with bells on.

Nottogetapenny · 01/11/2024 13:29

We all have our fingers and toes cross that you hear something very soon and it’s even more than satisfactory!
You made me giggle about the robot vacuum cleaner. Hope it’s battery dies, before it get you🤪
Please believe in yourself after all you are going through, we all think you are amazing.

I know the next few hours will be stressful, I know you feel poorly but I want you to acknowledge how far you have come in just a few days, from being completely disempowered to having the confidence to call
your MP. I know you’ve had some support on here but that drive has come from you.
Fingers crossed you get somewhere suitable sorted today, OP.
(I have just used the tea bag trick ✔️✔️✔️✔️)

Awww thank you PeggyMitchellsCameo
That’s so lovely of you to say .
BUT I wouldn’t have had the confidence to call if it wasn’t for all of you on here .
Let me know what you think of the tea bag trick , I use it every time I need something scrubbing xx

Thank you Ruralretreating.
Never in my life did I think I’d ever be ringing MP’s office . And Dawn sounds absolutely lovely xx

My mopping disaster was funny, but boy, I felt stupid when I realised what I'd done!!

Don't give a thought to what they think of you, all they have to do is do their job properly!!

That’s made me giggle 🤭
Did you get water everywhere?
I worry too much what people think of me , I still feel bad from when the manager of the homeless team rang me other day and was very stern with me . But your right I’m too far in to give up with them now xx
