this is not information i impart usually, but from first hand experience being homeless is very scary and fraught with dangers. when i left a violent marriage with only what i stood up in and a 2 year old daughter i moved down to bletchley to do a living in job, when that job finished milton keynes council wouldnt house me because i hadnt been here long enough and birmingham city council wouldnt house me (where i came from) because i had been gone too long!! i begged them to find me somthing but no one , but no one would help.

this is when i spent 2 weeks homeless, sleeping mainly on new street station because it was well lit and at that time you had a lot of activity overnight, it was before the time of cctv cameras in fact it was 30 years ago and the world to be honest wasnt as scarier place as it is now. i was old enough to remember the documentary ‘cathy come home’ where her kids were taken into caree and i was terrified most of the time. you didnt see beggars in the street then so much as u do now and i basically llived on my wits, stealing small and only absolutely necessary things from shops , using the child benefit to get myself and my daughter warm meals when we needed to, but, we got by.

i wont go into the ins and outs of how we got out of it but we did and i got a council place in milton keynes moved in with a box of toys , a suitcase and 2 matresses the council liaison bloke got for us and i have been here eveer since.

the number of runnaways tho even then , young teenagers ffrom terrible terrible backgrounds there wasnt the network they have now but its an experience i thank god only lasted 2 weeks i had to go the then publiic health place and be deloused tuts , but dont knock anyone till u have walked a mile in their shoes, some very very sad cases out there, theres a lad on our estate who got caught up in the twilgih world of drugs same age as my daughter, i noow always think ‘therebut for the grace of god go I’ and i concur thin, yes we should of course be thinking of those who dont have what we have, not only the homeless here, but evryone who for one reason or a nother doesnt have the luxury of a warm home, and loving family xx

im going home for xmas yayyyyy!

i shall be leaving sunny Saudi Arabia for the snowy UK
cant wait to ditch my abaya and wear my own clothes
and listen to the music playing in the shops, the hustle and bustle of xmas shopping
being with my family and friends and full of xmas spirit, (of the drinking kind)
not having to speak or listen to arabic every day.

not putting up with the ignorant arrogant attitude of saudi males
who dont understand the words, no, wait, and be patient.
no more yalla yalla or sorra sorra.

no more mutawa yelling “cover your hair” when out shopping in the malls
im going home!!!!

FREEEDOM AT LAST! (WELL AT LEAST TILL MID JANUARY)

SO……. if i dont see you all before, i wish you all a very merry and peaceful xmas
joyous blessings to you all.

and have a super new year.

lots of love
GM. xxxxxx

have a safe journey inshalla (think thats right lol) xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for the good words.

What has been witnessed both here and on that site is nothing other than plain old degeneracy. The simple fact that insults and outright defamation of a persons character is submitted through absolute conjecture based on what the eye can see, needs no further explanation. As we can see, age does not always bring with it wisdom of sort.

touche’ :wink: :D

to clear things up,, and yes im sober i have the wee laddie here.. That was bullying, nothing more, nothing less. the insults and questions about being starved of oxygen at birth etc.. my god,I hope you are proud cath.
when me and sharon met pip she was a gormless wee essex lassie. now she is the toughest thing that comes out of a bullying regime ! I thought it was perhaps a joke, as she is lovely. I note the admin never add to the issue, wisely. Their anniversary soon.. not many of the original “regs” there.

so happy birthday www.. love how your main contributors are from closed down site.

but all in all. well done ( serious) .. /slainte. x

I am hoping that the little ‘sparring’ match was taken as ‘tongue in cheek’ as it was meant, i have pm’d gaz to apologise if any offence was caused but i understood it too be a little bit of fun. as far as pips being racist, do give over lol, it political correctness gone mad lol , hugs rubes and btw happy birthday lol xxxxxxxxxxxx
