As we all know, managing the transition from private housing to public housing can be a stressful time in anybody's life. Just ask Mandy - who was briefly known as Mandy Mattress during her time on Poets due to her preference for disposing of her old bed in her front garden rather than at the local corporation waste site. But now that she's back in a mortgaged property she operates a strictly enforced policy of beds indoors only...posh pig!
It's upto all of us to help those closest to us to minimise the stress of 'downshifting' a couple of postcodes. Think about it for a second - packing boxes can be incredibly tiring, even for the bone idle with nothing else to do. So lets all rally round - I've set up a campaign called Council Aid. A donation of only 25 quid will pay the rent of a 4 bedroom shitehole for 2 months. But make sure you pay it direct to the Council. Tenants are prone to spending hard cash on illicit drugs and cans of Skol Superstrength!
