The North South Divide

It has reported in several studies that people in the north are worse off than the south - on things like life expectancy and income. I am about to to turn into dick whitington and pack my things up in a cloth and head to the big smoke. As a disabled person this presents many challanges most importantly to get a roof over my fine head of hair . Thats prooved a challange becuase i am not a london resident. This is important because although i am happy living in the private sector i need help with basic things like cleaning my clothes and other basics. In edinburgh i turned to the council because my house wasnt suitable so they helped me out with that support. I have been told i can apply for housing through the council after being a resident for 5 months- sp dpes that apply for support too?
In the bible the isrealites were promised a land of milk and honey. is london promising me a land of exspensive beer an dirty washing!


Returning to Whitington there is a poem
Turn again, Whittington,
Once Mayor of London!
Turn again, Whittington,
Twice Mayor of London!
Turn again, Whittington,
Thrice Mayor of London!
Change the name to cooper and who knows????

i am on the road to nowhere

Many apologies for the lack of blogging avid readers ( like someone from manchester) have been asking me why i havent been blogging quite simply my life has been turned upside down in the past month.

As you know i have moved into my own flat in july- i am loving it. but i had no work but then i got offered two jobs in 2 hours so i am packing up and moving to london. to work in the City. I am scared to leave edinburgh- the city i grew up in and love so much. To move to a place where i know very few people and dont know the place i am moving to.

as homer simpson said ' i am a risk taker thats why i have so many so many adventures' lets hope that this one is a happy one
