Oh wow @Shaz51 you seem to be overachieving in your house today.
It’s good to hear that Mr Shaz is out doing stuff. He seemed pretty unwell recently

Hi @rav3n @Shaz51 I've just spent the morning cleaning the house ready for an inspection.
She wasn't supposed to come until sometime between 1.15 and 3.15 pm, but she arrived at around 11, so my jobs weren't completely finished and my house wasn't perfectly clean. It was kind of stressful. Following that, I went and voted early and brought myself a coffee.
I have some study to do this afternoon.

@rav3n Hello how are you? It’s been a long day for me feeling pretty rubbish. I don’t have the ability to do anything and nothing brings me any joy. So just sitting here waiting for the day to go by lol.

Hey @Cuddlebear, sitting with you. I know things must feel really distressing right now... needing stable housing is so important for our mental wellbeing, so how you're feeling is completely understandable. What do you need from us today? 💛
