I dunno how the council works over there in Edinburghland, but over here it can take yonks to get a place( or that's how it seems in the east end, anyway ),
Yup, you said it. The council turned out to be a bunch of useless frickin idiots who gave us no help whatsoever because i wasn't on drugs, an alchoholic, had 10 children (also with drug addictions I'd presume), missing limbs, a psycho killer or a complete chav who got pregnant just to get a cheap place to live e_e; So basicly if you're a regular joe not claiming benefits and being a good law abidding citizen you get supremely shafted in every sense of the word. Also because DiGi is a full time student they were going to make us pay... get this... £560 A WEEK... to LIVE IN A HOSTEL :| WTF. What homeless person has sodding £500 to spend each week??? You can book into posh hotels for that, jeezus. The council told us we'd never get a house with them, even though we were on the streets homeless, because just being on the streets ISN'T priority e_e You have to have a gimmick.
One night was terrible, we were out in a -EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME- snow blizzard on a street corner (i think Glasgow would have got that crazy snow too) trying to figure out wtf we were going to do because nobody (not even my family or nearby friends would help)(conveniant broken promises). We were so cold i thought my brother was going to die. We ended up sitting on a bus to get warm. I was like hghgygfydgfyugduyfg.
Anyway, nothanks to DiGi's connections and caring family we were able to put a deposit on a private flat (non council). Our landlord is awesome and the house is sexy. There's three of us living here (we brought DeZ). I'm glad we managed to stay in this area. At one point we were going to run to London because we had no other options, but something of a miracle happened and our luck returned full force. We managed quite a lot in just a week. Never been so tired in all my life, lost a lot of weight XD; Walkingwalkingwalking.
You really apreciate the little things i guess. It feels nice to have our own freedom and responsibility now. And family meal times

It's nice to sit around a table with the people you care about.
P.S. Also, now that you have internet, can you play PSU? I've been hoping one day I'd see one of you on there lol.
Sadly not right now, we can't afford any online subscriptions when we have rent and bills to pay. Maybe later on though :3
Oh, and I didn't know the Orange iMAGNi book was out-- I'll go snag myself a copy this afternoon. <3 Promise.
Huzzahr! Thankyou very much

Don't forget to show us a photo of your new pad, even if it's not much, lol XD I love seeing peoples' new houses :3
Oh they're be photos once I've finished unpacking and rebuilding my stupid bits of furniture XD; I have no computer desk right now, so I'm using Dereks PC. Our bedroom has enough giant cuboards to put Narnia to shame.
