Just out of interest, did anyone watch Ashes to Ashes?

penelopedee_2

Hi HB - yes I watched it. I thought it was quite good.

DB - AF tonight, thats 23 now please.

Hope everyone is having a good evening, Pen.

Marru

Hello,

Well done Angie :T and sorry to hear about job/financial situation

Nothing much to report here, am off work this week to study (except need to go in on Thursday but if I am lucky I will get time to do some reading at work).

On that note - better get back to the books...

24 please DB - thank you!

Good evening all.

Hope you've all had a gorgeous day

Bit of stress today.

Got a bit manic at the homeless shelter, but all good!

Doctors at 9.10am, which went well, before starting work at 10.30am

Bumped into a girl I know, outside my local, waiting for them to open up, at around 10am. She's a great girl, and it saddened me to see :-/

The stress was due to the Department of War and Peace...

They had paid my ESA into my bank account last Friday, so I then paid a couple of bills Friday lunchtime.

However, a couple of hours later, the DWP had decided to 'reverse' the payment, leaving me overdrawn at the bank.

A&L bank have now charged me £10 for being overdrawn for 2 days, and another £25 for an 'unpaid item fee', all thanks to the DWP!

Stayed surprisingly calm, while on the phone to the DWP, and bank..

A lady at the DWP said this morning, that she could see that it was their error, on her system. However, this evening, a chap there could not see what had happened.

The payment has now arrived back in my account, however I'm now short due to the £35 of charges :-/

According to the DWP bloke, it looks like (hopefully) the DWP will refund the charges, when I show them 'evidence' (I have screenshots of my online banking taken on seperate days, which I'll print off in the morning) at the Jobcentre tomorrow.

Very stressful phone calls (A&L won't budge, as the error is down to the DWP, so fair enough I suppose..) got me hot under the collar, however I have not drank..

I really feel, for the homeless chaps at the shelter, having to deal with these DWP morons.. :-/

My friend, and old neighbour of mine, popped into the shelter to say Hi, and also to ask me why I'd not returned his call yesterday. ( He'd left a message, asking me to join him to the pub, for a "quiet beer"..The guy is a self - confessed alcoholic, diabetic, with gout of the knee, and depression, and epilepsy..and he still drinks :-( )

I worry about him, but I politely declined to join him to the pub today too :-/

On a lighter note, it is a lovely, sunny evening, and it's time for chocolate!

Enjoy your evening guys and gals,

Cheers - Sim x

Hiya DB,

Could you update me on there please?

Scrub the 5/31 - I've just worked it out, and for May, other than 2 days (10th and 11th of May), I've been sober every other day.

So, 22 days sober please DB! :T

Cheers - Sim x

I shall let you into a little secret that, when they were at that fountain in "Vicky P", they were very close to Bear Towers :cool:
