Good Lord, what a day! I went to have a shower but a technical hitch meant I didn't get my shower today. I went to the doctors and that was an almighty and distressing muddle and achieved nothing, so I emailed the charity and told them I was not in a fit state to go and see them. They replied offering a cup of tea and saying that I had been granted the benefit that we had been struggling with.
I was amazed because we were only due to review and send in the appeal today, so how had I been granted this benefit that I was previously refused?
I went to the charity and we phoned the people who granted the benefit and got details, it is still a slight puzzle but it seems that I have genuinely won the appeal and been granted several months of back-paid benefits that I should be able to collect tomorrow.
I then found out that I could get a free bus-pass, only my doctor has to sign it, and I am in a hell of a mood with him at the moment :-/
And the bus pass will be useful, because my next stop was to meet with the lady who is offering me a shed.
She lives out of town, I met with her and she described the shed, it has electricity and a heater and a matress and a duvet and a small kettle and it sounds like she wants to make it as comfortable as possible for me :)
I will be heading there this evening.
So my day of blogging has been ruined, but at least some good came out of all the day.
A survivor of Church abuse and cover ups goes on battling for her voice to be heard. A daily account of life after the Diocese of Winchester destroyed her and the slow and painful steps to rebuilding a life.
Introduction
This is a merge of my 'Wanderer' blog that tells of two years of my three years on the streets, and a new blog that tells of my life after the Diocese of Winchester ripped through my life for for the last few years on top of the previous serious harm that left me homeless
This is a day to day blog of my life as I continue to survive, work on recovery and on the social problems that I have and try to come to terms with limitless traumas I have survived along the way.
This blog is in tandem with my blog about my experiences in the Church of England http://whatreallyhappenedinthechurch.blogspot.co.uk/
The former name of this blog and the name of it's sister blog are to do with my sense of humour, which I hope to keep to the end, which appears to be ever more rapidly approaching. At least I laughed, and I laughed at the people who were destroying me. Don't forget that.
