Just over a year ago I shared my circumstances to point out the demonisation of the poor and disabled was not a straight forward. For my troubles I was accused of scamming by someone. While in general the support I recieved from members here was great it did make me feel uncomfortable posting here.
For the most part though the support had been very possitive and I did appreciate it.
Anyway got a phone call today and I've been accepted on a two year training/apprenticeship with a housing association learning leasehold management. At the end I will have two years experience and a national diploma so moving on into full time work should be a lot easier afterwards.
The training is part of the Possitive Action for Disability by the Chartered Institute of Housing, and social landlord partners helping disabled people who would like to move into housing make the transition.

On a seperate note, just before christmas my daughter bought me a pain gone pen. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=pain+gone+pen&rh=n%3A341677031%2Ck%3Apain+gone+pen
She bought me the small one to see if it will work, and I have had a lot of relief from it. I have no idea what its general effectiveness is, but if you suffer regular pains, and backpain and have not found something that works for you it is worth a try.
