For eg, I asked a housing association if I could have one of their flats. "Do you have a job?" said the man. "Yes, I'm a mother." "Not that kind of job," said the man. My son (2 at the time) and I were facing homelessness and wasn't allowed to apply. Grrrr.<br />Blogging will save your sanity; it's productive, creative and flexible, perfect really, allowing you to enjoy your other roles (phewee)!
