Night night Jo, sleep tight x

Oooo thanks for that Cally, very very helpful - I was thinking of starting a new user on ebay for selling things on, but didn't fancy the idea of starting from scratch with my feedback!

Can't sleep tonight. Have Tribunal tomorrow for my ESA appeal. Really don't want to go. Am sick of doctors and benefits and forms.

Would a well person give up £40k a year to get £64 a week from the government?

Been a bit stressed about this for awhile now so not been able to make any money. I will be glad when it is all over. Might get my mojo back :-)

Aww, that sounds terrible...I'll have my fingers crossed for you, what time is it at?

I was lucky with ESA, I got it straight away. The medical was good, and I don't have to have another one for quite a while. The report was rubbish, she contradicted herself alot, but she got the general gist of it right so it was okay.

I did hate feeling like I was a second class citizen, though, and I still do when people ask why I'm not working...It's horrible. I'm not looking forward to going through the medical again

Its at 2. I just feel like they are thinking I am lying. And my main problem is that I try to put on a bit of a brave face with people I don't know which is probably why I failed my medical. I really don't know how people manage to claim loads of stuff. I feel like I have been made to jump through hoops and I am still not sure we are getting what we should but I can't face another form

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

And now the puppy has been sick all over his bed :-(

Lucky I couldn't sleep. Dog bed in washing machine, most of sick washed off puppy and now we are on the couch together watching night time TV. He will need a bath though, doesn't smell great. Poor thing.

Morning every1.
Hugs jmrance. hope today goes well for you. Right now how you are is how you are and you do not need to feel bad or apologise to society for needing help. As a nation we have agreed to support people who need it when they need it and that is something we should feel proud of and you should be able to hold your head up high and not feel ashamed.
You are no less worthy a person than someone working a 60 hour week and you are contributing to society just in more subtle ways and less obvious ones.
It is absolutely ok to need help. Why do people think humans hunted in tribes and then settled in villages? because it worked better for everyone. If looking after people when they needed it had held back humankind rather than helping it we would have become loners. We all contribute in different ways at different times and we are all valuable.
I will be thinking about you today and sending you all the best will in the world as I am sure will the others on here. I hope you can feel our support.
JO X
PS I am not saying we have got the way we support people right. I am less convinced about that. But that doesn't help you today so heres another hug and lots of good wishes.

Morning Lovlies,
I was meant to post last night but I was busy drooling away at food !!!!!! a.k.a Masterchef so I missed all the late night dribble shenanigans. A bit sleepy, my head is like a pez dispenser it’s like my whole jaw hinges back with each yawn

Sheloves – everyone has said it better than anything I was going to add. So I hope that you are feeling better about things x

Babymoo – not sure if you have made a business name decision but I like babymoo and not a white wedding they were mentioned before

jmrance1 – fingers crossed for the appeal I hope that all goes well x p.s poor puppy

Have a favour to ask could someone look at the interview that I wrote. I keep reviewing it but I think that I have made a few mistakes so I would love if someone could check it over. I don’t think that I can look at it anymore.
