I have been to the local paper and was interviewed. They made me stand on the doorstep and look woefully up the street for a photograph. They made me do other traditional local paper poses too, looking around the doorframe and one foot against the wall. The humiliation was immense.

I've contacted Citizen's Advice Bureau to see what can be done. May need a solicitor. Mortgage company wants various things in writing. It's one big ball ache. I picked the wrong time to give up drinking.
