Our current situation and the circumstances leading up to it. My thread of frustration, anger and upset.

The basics.. we are being evicted in the new year from our family home.
We did nothing wrong
It’s our home and we didn’t think it would end like this.

I don’t agree with half of the wars we have been dragged into or been involved with….

🚨WOW! Now closing on 88,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.

Let’s keep going!

Just sitting at college to pick up music student son.
He was in today for a special talk and Q&A with Shirley Manson.
Must be nice being on that course, getting to hang out with the superstars, talking music and stuff

So proud of my music student son.
Such a mixed taste in music and it is very rarely modern.
You should see his face light up as he takes delivery of his latest vinyls…

They prey with closed hands
Like someone’s listening
Light their candles slow
And call it witnessing
I sit beside them
With nothing to confess
Just the air in my lungs
And the weight in my chest

I still believe that if a UK politician switches party, it should be an automatic local election for that seat.
The constituents didn’t vote for the party they move to, and the party that the politician left should be allowed to fight for that seat with a new candidate.
It should be automatic!!!

Just tried changing address on my driving licence to our new address. Wasted half an hour trying to sort it and feel like I’ve just donated a kidney and still failed at the end, only to be told I’ve got to go and pick up a form at the post office!!!
Even our governments website is complete shite!

So at his embarrassing "where's he gone" press conference, #Farage just announced there will soon be a Labour MP defecting to Reform.

It would have to be someone with no real allegiance to traditional Labour values. Ideally a big buddy of #Trump. Can't think who it might be... 🤣

Just about sums up my opinion of the UK government
Labour defends Trump.

End of the house move is nearly in sight. Boxes getting sorted in our temporary new home. Old place nearly clear. Maybe another couple of days to sort things out down there. Still can’t help that gutted feeling though. Imagine losing your wallet with over £100,000 in it. That’s kinda me right now!
January 13, 2026 at 1:01 PM
I am just drained today. Had another chaotic morning trying to sort out stuff on the house move. Had to make sure all large items were where they needed to be, before the van went back.
Having an evening off of it all as just had enough and need it all done already
January 11, 2026 at 6:26 PM
Agreed.. absolutely fooked!!!
Been 2 days of sheer hell… and still so much to do!!!
Aches in muscles i didn’t know I had!! But at least the bed is built, so no sleeping on a mattress on the floor like last night.. fine when you are young, but im at the point where joints will happily go on strike!!
Will be glad when this house move is done! Stressed and sore is an understatement! @ian71.bsky.social

Absolutely knackered and feel we are still a way to go to be ready for moving out tomorrow.
We know roughly where we are moving to, but not sure if we will have keys to move in or if we have to wait till next week.
So moving most of our belongings into storage, and staying at a friends if need be
