I have only recently started talking to my family again. We had a huge fall out about 2 years ago when I left the army. I got kicked out after 2 weeks of being back and my step-dad nicked my PS3 which I'd just bought when I returned from Iraq.
The reason I started talking to them again is; as of today, I'm homeless again and have nowhere to go.
We've been talking a bit more over the past month but as soon as I told her what was going off, she stopped replying to emails even though I know she's sat in front of a computer all day. I even get the annoying, viral emails from her still.
I have 6 Aunts and Uncles who don't talk to each other.
So, as far as I'm concerned I have no family. They've been useless throughout my entire upbringing and continue to be to this day.
I'm not saying I had a hard time growing up. I was just very much on my own without guidance and I'm pretty suprised I ended up being a decent person.

My plan tonight is to dig out my old army kit and go and dig in, in some field somewhere.
Could sell my laptop and get a B&B but that's too much of a loss for such a short period and it's my main source of contact/jobs.
Could sell all my camera kit off, but at the moment that's my only source of income and I doubt 'Cash Coverters' have enough in the tills for what it's worth.

You could go and kick your step dads head in the stay there
or go to the pub and smash a fat bird so you get a bed for the night and probably breakfast too

Considered that many times
He's a Police Sergeant though. Probably do a hell of a lot more damage than good in the long run.
It would however, certainly feel good.

You could atleast get your PS3 back
then you could play Fifa in the field

Fucking hell!?!!!???
That's awful. Start phoning mates for a place to kip before you give in to the field option.

Good luck.

Good thing you didn't have to pay for all that stuff you bought in Iraq then.

Thanks
Nice to hear good things!

When I was staying on a friends sofa I went to see the council about it (a while back) and get on this housing list. The lady I talked to openly said to me, that because I'm 'healthy', mid 20's and male I would really struggle.
However, if I was addicted to drugs or knocked some bird up, I'd have been given a place within a few weeks. Not heard anything from them since.

Sorry, didn't mean to end up posting a sob story. I was just reading through other peoples posts and thought I'd submit my own.

Nottingham unfortunately
Where there the majority of the city population is teen mothers, meth addicts and gangs. Going to be a bloody long wait if the council have anything to do with it!

services aftercare
there are organisations for ex servicemen who should be able to help you out of your current circumstances, if you send me a message i'll send you contact details and a name, there may be a bit of initial faffing as my contact's in Ulster but he has links nearly everywhere in the UK

How long have you been unemployed?
if you're claiming JSA and it's over 26wks you could get a budgeting loan. Just a thought.
