Rock Bottom.

After a while of living this life, you lose your dignity, you just don't care anymore, one 'house' had worn out carpets, an unusable twin tub washing machine which necessitated regular trips to the launderette, a fridge that leaked, a kitchen that attracted slugs and snails, heating that was 'powered' by pre decimal 50p pieces which you had to buy from the landlord, windows that froze on the inside and just a smell of desperation, I have lived with worse people but never in worse conditions, this was as bad at it got or so it seemed, amazingly it got worse!
