that's ok. I've been renting for many years now, plus have once looked after a property for a friend. Your deposit is NOT to be used in lieu of rent, it's to cover possible damage to the property. Very old belief that it's there for when you can't pay(although some will use that if they have to), and landlords generally get very cross if that's what their tenant thinks.

I'm not getting at you PM, just concerned and trying to bring you back to the root of your current problem(s).

I actually found you started to remind me of someone, I was going to pm you about it because it had started to distress me a little. But I didn't want you to take it the wrong way. I might still do so as it was making me think.

I have decided I am NEVER going to drink an alcoholic drink in a pub again

From my experience I dont think you can get them both together. Its one or the other. Pretty sure of that. Why never in a pub again? I gave up, cause I found it much cheaper to drink at home, but that kinda added to the madness if you know what I mean. City won 2-1 at Coventry and are looking good at the mo. Lets hope we can keep it up and not have our annual suicidal slump!

Hey PM, how are you feeling today? Don't know anything bout benefits cos I'm not from UK but am also interested why you say you'll never drink in a pub again? Like cymru, I found my drinking went off the scale when I started drinking all the time at home and mainly alone. noone to be accountable to with quantity etc. At least in the pub a pints a pint, or a glass of wine is a glass of wine. I got to the stage that a large bottle of voddie was about 4-5 measures (home ones). Maybe it's different for you? Let us know how you're going anyhow

Hi PM...I've been off having a mini crisis of my own so have not been on site. I read with growing alarm that you decided not to go to rehab and then enormous relief when you were 'encouraged' by everyone.
:goodjob: folks, and maybe we should start calling UK 'tell it like it is Phil.' Well done.
Am thrilled with Panno's gift...what would we have done if you'd been without a means of getting online and we couldn't be there to give you the nudge in the right direction. I would worry myself sick over you, for one thing.
I can't comment on the social services there, but here there is a growing understanding of alkies like us who really want to get off the alcohol and have the right mindset to do it. I saw my psych today. He's rapt with my (general) progress and very supportive of my efforts with Al. However, wants me to get Antabuse or Bac through my GP who can monitor me. My physical health is fragile and it can be dangerous, and he only needs to see me every six months to prescribe my dexies. My GP is close by and I can see her on my Health Care Card for nothing whereas my Psych is $220 for 35 minutes. (Worth every cent)
I've been thinking of you all, especially my Dos Gatos friends and you and K9, while going through a wave of grief and 8 litres of wine from Thursday to Monday. Back in the right frame today, especially after psych visit.
Lots of love PM, little bro, and we'll just keep plugging away at this monster until we reign supreme o'er it.

Hi Pompeyman,
Being skint is wretched. But being drunk and skint is even worse! I hope you sort your accommodation problems out. Can't you find an eccentric millionaire supermodel who'll put you up for free? Happens to me all the time ... (I wish!)
