    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Hi everyone - having a weird day today. Feeling lots better than Monday - have been given a number to ring if I get in a really bad place again, docs looking at my medicines to see what they can do to help me- might end up taking more but hopefully for a short time only and to get me through the current crisis. Oh and I only have to wait another 8 weeks for counselling :rolleyes:.
    Got home from docs to find letter saying I am going to get ESA and they have paid me :j slightly baffled as I had a letter saying I didn't have enough NI contributions (despite getting JSA for some months) but now I do :confused: also they appear to have sorted out the fact my doctors note was for a month not 1 week (I think) - I'm not 100% sure what they are up to but it appears to be good news - I haven't actually checked my files yet to see if I do indeed have enough NI contributions so I am hoping they have it right for once otherwise I'll have 5 months of JSA/ESA to pay back - mind you I have an overpayment for several years ago which despite me practically giving to them they don't appear to want as it doesn't tally up with their system and they haven't processed my appeal yet :confused: .
    Benefits system - anyone understand it?

    It was a new lady from the agency who was going over to see the client. She was just looking at the folks she could put forward and seeing if they would travel.
    She said she would phone me this afternoon.
    We'll see.
  • Sorry - I meant from the job centre - they said you would be paid today didn't they? although I know you don't actually believe them but maybe you need to phone them -again.
    Good news that the agency is remembering you though - a step in the right direction.

    Bookie....I have seen your book keeping skills..they are ace. It doesn't matter that you are not up to date with current systems, you DO have common sense.

    My first temping job was for a receptionist job. I had lost my voice and never even used the programmes they wanted me to use, I had an instruction book in a drawer in my desk. I got taken on permanently. You have been out of employed status so long that you have no idea what it is like out there...believe me a lot of these school leavers leave a lot to be desired...(no offence you young uns).

    If they do offer you the job or even an interview- don't say you can't do it but ring me and I will talk you through it...

    Please stop putting yourself down, I know life is so tough for you at the minute and you have had some pretty hard knocks but you are fantastic!

    Anyway - onto my problems now! :rotfl:

    Twitchy eye, tres tired yes! Problem, I think this is since I started running again. Do I stop running? I think this is because I was ill and then started running and didn't give my body time to recover (stupid me) cos this week, I have back my permanent headache and aching body and this stupid twitchy eye.

    Grrrrrrrr
