If your going though Hell Keep going

Since we arrived back in the UK over a month ago its been mixed bag of experiences. First of all there was the Car rental nightmare. 18hr flight, arrived in Manchester, with the expectation that we would have a car ready, Oh how wrong we were, the company we ordered with failed to accept our credit card because it was from the US. 4 hours later we got one but it was a manual, which my partner can’t drive. Ahhhhh, so we wait a further 2 hours and finally got an automatic tank…

Then the next 2 days, we were heavily jet lagged and needed to find suitable accommodation. The plan was, that we had already made the huge leap in going to the US, with the hope we can open door for our children, or better still an opportunity to live closer to them once upickstorage was up and running. So we held on to that hope and opted to find accommodation in the North West of England. Again, this was not a simple as we first envisaged. We finally found a small one bed flat about forty miles away. Close to the Children and close to Manchester City centre which should if all works out, open doors for employment. We did all this with the last of our savings from selling everything before we took the plunge to the US.

On the employment side of things it has been horrendous. I have registered with every agency in the North West area, particularly, ones which deal with my type of employment. Which if I am honest is pretty specialized. I have also applied for so many jobs its untrue, some times up to 20 applications in one day. Its kinds of demoralizing when you do not hear back from them or worse it turns out to be another agency who also wants you their books.

So the last month has not been great. With no money, and living in a village we have no idea about or even friendly with. My Partner and I tend to be on the internet 24/7 at the moment, composing blogs, social networking or looking for work. Seeing my children has been a limited affair due to the fact we can’t avoid the train fares.

My future Plans are to find A JOB. Pass my driving test. Find more suitable accommodation (slightly bigger) have a proper routine to see my children. I also need to prove to my Partner than I am worth all this, she has put up with so much, she has been there by my side thought out all of this and she has lost her brothers because of their actions. And I love her so so much.

There are very few Self Storage news Items around this weekend, I don’t know why, but its low on the ground. Sorry Guys,.There was one slightly interesting story about Public Storage which announced on Thursday that it intends to release its third quarter 2009 earnings results on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Kind of looking forward to that because the company has a had interests in 2,010 self-storage facilities located in 38 states with approximately 127 million net rentable square feet in the United States and 185 storage facilities located in seven Western European nations with approximately ten million net rentable square feet.

On a personal note the reason I am still posting Self storage news and events is to keep this blog on topic, which is Self Storage News and Events, However it is also turned into an personal blog about how upickstorage did not pay me for the work I did for them. Their whole website is built on a database which I put together, If you’re interested in reading about this people and their company Click Here

Autumn with no funds.

A lovely autumn Saturday, I should be down the Park with the children enjoying the weather and the company. Instead, I am penniless and bored, I can’t avoid to travel the messily 40 miles on the train to collect them. Why? Because Upickstorage refused to pay me.

On the Plus side our blogs are really becoming quite popular and we have received so interesting emails from a few storage companies… Thanks for the support guys and if you want to become a sponsor of these blogs give us a shout, we would be honored….

Anyway I have been addicted to Blip the last couple of days and I came across an old favorite… so I figured the words are so fitting to this hideous situation. This is another shout out, ( ok warning the tune is very heavy and there is a lot of language which may offend..)

Burglars target Tulsa storage units | KJRH.com

Surveillance is underway at self storage unit companies across the city, as Tulsa police burglary detectives work to catch thieves who have broken into 10 businesses in recent three weeks.

The crooks have stolen well over $100,000 in property so far.

It's been a few days since they struck the last business. Considering how busy this burglary ring has been, police believe the crooks are actively looking for new targets.

In just three weeks time, around 100 mini-storage units have been burglarized across Tulsa. Sergeant Brandon Watkins heads TPD's Burglary Unit.

My its difficult sometime

things have been extremely difficult. First off, trying to file for unemployment has been a nightmare. 5 weeks after claiming we get a letter saying the man say yes…. And we are entitled to next to nothing…. Next was benefit for housing… It took us so long to find accommodation which was fairly central to the children. We thought we found perfect accommodation in a town about forty miles away from them. Thinking that’s not too bad? Boy was I wrong. Today I discover, that the government will only pay a percentage of the rent… the rest has to come from a benefit cheque which would barely keep a rabbit in food…..

There were a few highlights of the day. One being the woman at the housing… It was funny that she started waving her hands around like a gibbon when I unintentionally swore. What I actually said was “I can’t believe all this hassle because I went to the US for a job that Fucked me around”. Boy these people need to toughen up. People use to swear at me all the time.

The next was an email received asking me to remove my comment from Facebook , because they found it offensive…. I have to say, PLEASE, you find it offensive, WTF?? Your family has screwed me and you want me to sit back and consider peoples feelings?? REALLY? feeling like nothing else can go wrong. The fact is, we have been saying that since June 11 2009… I am normally such a tryer, I never give up on something just because it’s difficult. Whether that is me being pig headed or stubborn I am unsure, but the fact remains I do not quit.

Anyway Part 6 is due soon, however it is my Partner who is composing this one, due to the fact it that is based at a critical point where the upickstorage owner has some form of fit at her.
