    Seems like June is going to be one busy month for you, Taxi! Fully understand where you are coming from re the benefits hassle - the ones at the bottom get everything given to them, the ones at the top have accountants who can fiddle their books to make sure they don't pay more than they have to, and suckers like me and thee who have paid taxes etc from our wages have to virtually grovel to get anything. Still, we must remain calm and tranquil as all this moaning won't be doing you any good, will it? Follow Hypno's "just for today" mantra from now, as sometimes things truly are in the laps of the gods.


    Yep I know:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Still pees me off though...used to be better when you could sit in front of a benefits person..lol

    Well, at least you have got the ball rolling - The next couple of weeks will fly by with all the toing an froing that you have to do, I am sure!

    Just make sure you keep your strength up during what is bound to be not only physically demanding but emotionally draining, as you try and keep everyone else's spirits up too!

    Good luck with tomorrow's batch x

    Thanks Hypno....

    I will be looking after me when all the treatment starts.....may sound selfish but I'll need all my strength then hence trying to sort everything.

    I have a feeling Beanie..that the only people causing me problems will be ESA people....

    Not selfish at all, and it is absolutely what you SHOULD be doing!! But of course, we try and keep everyone else going as well, even if we know that they should be looking after us.....even if we don't realise what we are doing half the time!

    So, make sure your feet are up in between time, and you conserve your energy. Someone else can wash the pots!
