I own my house, so don't think the council will rehouse me. However, dropping a line to my local MP would be a good idea. It has been so miserable - all over wash with cold water, boiling kettles to wash dishes and no help anywhere, i've tried grants, crisis payments etc to no avail. At my...

Let me know if it works - it would be one up for non-technical women everywhere!
