Hello all... bit of a strange thread, you may think? Why doesn’t he just go out and rent somewhere like a normal human being? Well, I refer you to
http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/130188/my-life/p1then that explains the general situation myself and my wife are in. We have finally managed to cross the border as she is no longer taking the prescription ‘medicine’ which is unlicensed/illegal in England and Wales. I’m English, she was born in Wales and we couldn’t even visit our homelands!
Anyway - we are far from out of the woods yet. In desperate need of health care we are now in West Yorkshire as I thought English Doctors may treat the whole thing differently. Good news - they are! Bad news - we are staying in the attic room of old friends of mine who I haven’t seen for 20 years and they’ve made it quite clear that we’re not very welcome here. A shame as I’m making a point of cleaning, buying and cooking food and helping with housekeeping bills, etc.
Anyway - in order to appease the situation I’ve said we’re going to move on this weekend. I’ve looked at properties to rent but we’re on benefits which limits things greatly and round here seems to get you a damp broom cupboard in a near derelict building. Need at least a 2 bed place as our 26 yr old son is stuck 400 miles up the road which is stretching our finances even thinner and is crap for him and us as we want to be a family unit.
At this point we don’t mind (care) where it is. We need a safe place we can call home for at least 6 months to properly get the healthcare my wife needs. We’re entitled to Housing Benefit also.
If any of you know of anywhere then I would really welcome a heads up.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
