My SS was not eligible for EMA so we paid for it, plus his bus pass, and gave him lunch money. His mother gives him nothing nor does she pay his maintenance. If I could go back a year. I would have made him pay his own travel and lunches, and that we would only pay it during term time same as EMA. As it stands I work one day a week to fund his frittering on junk and fags. I wish I had £30 a week to fritter!
At soft play again. I did empty the TD before we left but that is it. I now very much have CHAOS.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Rain seems to have stopped but it's dull and grey. Haven't achieved much yet this morning, although another query has gone to HR asking whether I'll get my redundancy letter before or after my termination date, as the timeline on the intranet seems to indicate the latter...:rolleyes:
Suppose I should get washed and dressed - I might feel a bit more lively then, and I need to walk to the post box for some fresh air and damp...0 -
