Progress!
I agreed the rent with the new landlord yesterday, all bar £2 is covered by the local council housing department so that just leaves utilities. I also now have a moving in date - 1st June. My daughter is going to spend a few days with my mother and I'll remain in the hotel (we'll need the room Mon/Tues next week so don't want to give it up yet!)
No word on the clothes etc, so I'm chasing that today. I'm also chasing why the UK TV licensing lot have taken my money twice (television not trans!).

TV Licencing?
You still pay for TV licenses in the UK? They phased that out years ago down here.

The UK TV License
Pays for the BBC. It means we have a number of channels of TV and a lot of Radio with NO, repeat NO adverts.
I've tried watching US TV and 20 mins of commercials per hour makes it impossible to watch.
I know which I'd prefer and it is not TV with almost as much Adverts as programmes. I'm off to the USA tomorrow for 3 and a bit weeks. I probably won't even switch on a TV during my trip unless it is to get the Weather Forecast.
Sadly we have a government that seems intent of killing off the BBC which will be a real shame.They make programmes that no other broadcaster would touch even with a 40ft barge pole.
Glad about the housing and
Glad about the housing and the rent. Now here's hoping that the part about clothing can also be concluded in a positif way.

TV Licence
I had a reply from the relevant authority, apparently I had two licences in my name for the same address. One has been cancelled and they are posting a form to me to claim a refund, unfortunately they're sending it to the old address! I've changed the licence address to the new place, to take effect next Wednesday but their records haven't been updated yet. Hopefully the Post Office will work their wonders for me as I collect my mail from the post office.

Sorry - Crossdresser
Sorry - Crossdresser licensing just sounds like another Monty Python sketch - similar to the 'Eric the Half-A-Bee' sketch. (Cat license, dog license, fish license, ... all named Eric)
"Yes, I'd like to wear a wig." "That's 3 pounds." "And a full evening gown?" "25 pounds." "Why is the wig so cheap?" "Barristers".
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
