sorry you are feeling so down hun. know its hard but dont give up. look what happened to me yesterday. completely out the blue i got the call.
i got through it all by giving myself a routine. i still get up as if i was going to work. i never put tv during day cos i was determined i was not going to get into routine of watching daytime tv. i always go for a walk every day to get some fresh air. just keep positive. know its hard cos i had my bad days. we all here for you xxxx

I try to do the same hun, so dont want to fall into the trap of watching daytime tv and having a meaningless existence lol. Ive not worked since i was 7 months pregnant and my wee boy is now 22 months. Its so easy to fall into the trap of getting used to not working....i dotn for the life of me understand how some ppl with kids say theyre better of not working, theyre either lying, or getting something im not lol

congrats on job jessbob. wat you doing.

Thank you. Just doing some admin/reception/secretarial work at a local solicitors to get me back into the swing of things:rotfl: Not gonna be any better off financially, as I will lose my PPI, but it will save me from going insane;)

Hopefully not have to be there too long provided DWP get a move on.

If not, hopefully things will pick up early next year and I can get a job in my normal line of work

Thanks so so much for your kind words jessbob, maisette and mandie2106.
I feel better today, think I was just having one of those days!
I get sick and tired of been sick and tired, ha ha, if you know what I mean.

jessbob, thats great that you have something lined up, it will keep your mind working, anyway, that sounds like a good job to have.

i've forgot what mine is it's been that long... only joking (I think).

I am a legal executive (or was should I say up to March this year !!), specialising in property law.

Housing market crash - no work for me:mad:

Dare say it will all work out in the end for all of us.

Going to give Newcastle a ring today as they haven't replied to my last email. Just need some confirmation as to whether the checks have been passed as yet.

Payment Protection Insurance - this covers my mortgage payments, house insurance, life insurance and car loan with a bit of income protection payment as well.

Everyone I speak to tell me I must be mad going to work while I can still claim this insurance - they obviously don't know how demoralizing it is being unemployed, and I am always aware that every month that goes past is another month closer to the final payment !!! (as the insurance only lasts 12 months)

yesterday when i called newcastle, i was given the name daniel goule, who was apparently dealing with my IRC.
eventually got through to him just now.
he didn't know how quick to pass the buck.
he said, sorry you have been messed around but i am not the person you need to speak to, he said my IRC was part of some "old" recruitment he was clearing up before the NEW RECRUITMENT STARTS!!!
old recruitment, new recruitment!!! just gets better this.
he told me to email the name at the bottom of my success letter, which is jan.treleaven@dwp.gsi.gov.uk
