Well I survived the Job Centre. I was doing very well and didn't blub at all and both the people that I had to see were really nice and didn't make me feel like a waste of space. I've got a list of things that I need to do to provide everything I need for my claims. Finish of the partnership tax return to Apr '10 and get DD's dad (not my DH) to write a letter confirming our unofficial agreement regarding maintenance. Then an old friend who works in the Job Centre came out and asked what I was doing there and I told her DH had left and burst into tears. Thankfully I had finished the interview so I was able to leave promptly and have a cigarette!

That is pretty much how I found it as well:o:cool:


Off out shopping now:wave:

What's dot to dotting???

It's a term coined by A'n'W's mum You do lots of little jobs, that don;t seem related, but eventually, you join all the little jobs and you've done loads. Like a dot-to-dot picture, it reveals itself once you're done, in a tidy house :j

It was the third job center visit that I cried.
I'd just been interviewed for a job that only paid minimum wage and was fairly sure I wouldn't get it as I confessed I'd been hoping for a bit more. A £10k drop in wages is quite a difference and so I felt very glum.

And the job center staff member simply asked how the job search was going and how I was finding it. Cue blub!!! The guy was really nice though and said he knew how it was as he'd been there too.

Then last week I had a "back to work session" and it was the same guy doing the session :rotfl:



Thanks for the explanation Penpen - makes sense now

is the link to the artical that DD1 did for the local paper - hope I'm allowed to post it here....

Can we have a guarantee about the temperature rise??

Many thanks for the article - a very brave young lady.

hello everyone
a bit overcast in toots land but I am ever hopeful that it will brighten later - well i do have a washing that is about to get hung out!:D

pigpen I was only teasing about the funeral excuses -I knew you would be going even if its not what you liike but as you say it could be an interesting day! I always knew you were a big softie at heart - but like you say when your mother is so upset how can you say No - i am glad to hear though that it is not a lot of physical things that you have to do. Fingers crossed the coroner doesnt opt for a PM its all been a bit too traumatic without that as well (((hugs))) for you and your Mum xx
Diva :hello: morning honey - you are an angel for worrying about everyone else but make sure you are looking after YOU!!!! xx
natty :hello: nice to see you so cheerful but I will be watching!!!! make sure you dont overdo it so you can fight off that sore throat (((hugs)))xx
Vanilla i wish I could wave a magic wand and it would all be finished for you - sounds like a lot happening in the next couple of days that will pull it all together (((hugs)))
Penny WTG DD - lots of luck with her interview.
Grateful I was wondering about rach as well but she's on holiday!!!
MummyOfTwo welcome to the thread - i will send you a pm shortly - with the reference to the Forth Bridge are you in Scotland?
sock-knitter well done with that hotspot - the trick is now keeping it tidy:D
Bunglegirl well done with the Job centre - be sure to get the paperwork done so it doesnt delay your payments too much. Remember you are doing your house for you now (and your DD) - you want to make it comfortable and tidy so that you and DD can have fun together - it doesnt matter what Ex thinks IMHO - do it for you!!!! (((hugs)))

I did that at my 'review' session. I am on IB and can's seem to get myself well enough for long enough to do anything. When he asked what I thought I might be able to manage to do I blubbed. It was so unexpected too. I didn't realise I felt so bad about it. That was last Summer.:)

I'm just updatinf my list, so will join you in the cuppa and HHC

Am I too late to join you?

I didn't manage to get to dog agility last night as I was taken ill again suddenly and had to turn around and come back. Methinks I need to bite the bullet and see the doctor.

Today I have done paperwork.:D

Pest control man has been today too.

DS3 has heard and is going away at the weekend so we need a last dash to town to get a few things. He has most of what he needs. Today I will be concentrating on helping him.

DS2 can do the bathrooms as way of paying his keep.
