i have just spent the last 5 days homeless on the streets of london (sat to thursday) i had no option i had to be there to get my visitation with my son and my offer of accomadation had fallen threw, i spent 5 years living on the streets down there before i got married, when the marraige broke down i was back on the streets again, i have 2 months left at my present accomadation then i will be homeless again and living in my car, i have been refused houseing in several differant boroughs (towns) as i dont class high enough on the list to qualify for preferential treatment even with my mental health problems and medication i dont have enough points so i will end up living in my car again. but has they say ***** happens, you just have to try and deal with the hand that you are dealt, i got real upset on sunday night when i was sat down in a doorway eating my dinner when i was approached by a tourist who tryed to give me money to and i quote" get something to eat", i probably had more money in my pocket than them, i hate it when people make the general assumption that if you are homeless you are going to ask for money, sorry i am starting to rant now, i have never felt sorry for myself whilst being homeless i just get on with it, and the quicker people realise that we have feeling to, the better.
