Right, forgive me because this post is going to be rambly.
I took a break from basically all social media last year for the sake of my mental health, and that's where it all begins really so here goes.
When my mental health issues started getting bad last year I pretty much isolated myself from social media, me and Claire started arguing quite a lot, on Tuesday the shit hit the fan rather epically, after a huge row we broke up and she kicked me out. For those of you that don't venture into behind closed doors, that catches you up.
The council can't do anything for me until tuesday at the very earliest, I'm stuck sofa surfing living from a backpack.
Finding somewhere willing to accept housing benefit is an absolute nightmare, being un employed rules even more out of a narrow choice of what I can get on benefits. Speaking of which, I applied for universal credit and I could be waiting 6 weeks for anything more than an advanced payment that I will obviously have to pay back. 
I can get my first month's rent and deposit paid BUT not any agency fee's, the vast majority of rooms I can rent are agency, and around here it's 3-400 plus the first month's rent.
@Breakstuff has been in touch with me and genuinely made me cry with happiness, he has suggested setting up a gofundme page to raise the money, I'm neither experienced with it or in any state mentally to sit and do it. I'm using my data on my phone as little as possible except looking for housing and work, he also made a small but extremely appreciated donation to start me on the way, and at that point I genuinely cried. 
If someone could pm me about possibly setting one up on my behalf I would be eternally grateful.
I will keep checking in here keeping people updated and generally just venting, I've waffled on enough now I need to clear my head

    Just want to say Adam is potentially homeless In a couple of days. All he's after is £400 to put a roof over his head. 

    I've had a look at Gofundme and it seems a bit of a faff to be honest but maybe better to PM him for his PayPal addy and donate whatever you can to help him if you could. 

    The difference between being homeless and having somewhere to stay is literally the price of a Squier Strat. 





    Laugh, love, live, learn.

    Bugger PM-ing him.  Adam, just put your address up here.  
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    That was my thought Emp, but didn't want to do it without his permission.

    I just popped you £20, sorry it's all I can spare right now. 

    If you haven't talked to your local Christians Against Poverty / Debt then I recommend it. They have counsellors who can help you get out of a horrible financial hole.

    And if you use Jack Monroe's blog and cookery books you can eat healthily for £1 a day.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about you, don't want to teach granny to suck eggs.

    Really sorry to hear of your plight Adam it's a horrid situation to be in.

    A couple of years ago my partner's son was in your situation. To make matters worse he and his wife had joint bank accounts which she emptied as soon as he left so he was literally penniless. We did a bit of shifting around in our place to make some room for him and he stayed with us for three months which gave him a chance to get back on his feet and regain his self-esteem. Being on the streets would have been a disaster for him. Even being on his own would not have helped at all.

    If you have family and/or friends to put you up for a while choose that option rather than finding yourself isolated in a lonely room somewhere.

    I'll zip something over to your pp a bit later today.

    All the best
    Jim
