thank you jobcentre plus

yes - seriously!!!

having lost my purse this morning en route to taking DD1 to school, i found myself having to apply for a crisis loan. Now, those of you who are familiar with my previous posts know that i dont do phones.....

but, as i am not seeing carer till friday, i had no choice but to ring. Took two hours from inital call, waiting for call back then another wait for decision, but have just been awarded one. :j Am so relieved!!

I wanted to say a public (well, kind of) thanks to my local JCP, as the poor woman who had to put up with me on the other end of the phone (in a very high anxiety state) was very patient and understanding.

we can put the heating back on :j :j

Comments

  • Glad we JCP staff have got a positive and public thank you.

    Its usually negative - after all we have to work with the most vulnerable in society in accordance with strict laws and guidance which aint always to the benefit of the customer :D
