    Its definitely a full blown cold, along with the aches and pains, i couldn't feel worse.

    The daffs are still springing up. I wonder what variety, this time?

    I never thought of having a bath, from this point of view :)

    sounds like you might have flu ani. If you have aches and pain.

    A hot bath, plenty of fluids, and relax. Enjoy the garden. The weather is going to turn next week.

    When i started this diary, it wasn't to share my thoughts and feelings with anyone, more an outlet for my thoughts and feelings, because, yes, i had kept everything to myself for so long. There's still a great deal i keep to myself. Thoughts i will never share, the main one at the moment being where and when. Of course, when, keeps changing, but i know now that every thought presents an oppurtunity, or every opportutnity presents a thought. You can't describe.This is my big secret, because no one will interfere. Although the thoughts are constant, i guess at the moment, i'm in control, but given what happened such a short time ago, i know what can happen and it turns completely out of your control. In reality, i should be somewhere safe. On the other hand, maybe you will never stop someone from what they are going to do, anyway.

    In reality, i'm starting to panic today, which is the complete opposite of yesterday. All this talk of easter, means places are going to be shut, and although i've been in denial, i'm now worried that i'm not working, i've had no income from work, and i'm not receiving benefits, for several weeks now, and it takes 6 weeks for benefits to come through, anyway? The small amount of money i have, won't last long. Maybe its time for commonsense to take a small place in my thought process, and try and get help today, although who is going to find the several hours, it is undoubtably going to take?


    Which then sends me back to the place where i think, i feel too ill, who is going to help me? and whats the point anyway.

    I won't be laughing at you, already heard talk about snow up North and around those areas. Our area is going to have rain.

    Mind you we need the rain. Not good for my garden which is full of weeds which I wanted to pull out a bit by bit each day. If it rains, the slugs and snails come out.... they creep me out...urgh.

    Well if you were closer I would help you fill in your forms. I used to do it for a job. I hope you find someone today to help you.

    I've not heard the reports about the snow. Just going off experience :D


    It is a shame you don't live closer. I don't know how to fill them in, and i suppose i could be benefiting from other things, even if its only free prescriptions, discounted travel, whatever.


    I hope your son is ok Aesop? xx


    You tend to forget, when you are so immersed in your own problems, that others are, too

    Ok. Made some phone calls. No help forthcoming. Some one was supposed to sort something out for me last week, and promised they would let me know. I'm still waiting for that, too. Just don't say things are going to happen if they are not going to. I'm exhausted from trying to make things happen. Decided to look at the forms myself again. Now i remember why i can't fill them in. Do i want to claim income related esa? Yes or no? I don't bloody know. Whats the difference? This is only the first question. I'm never going to fill these forms in. I seriously feel there is no help or support, in this country.What's happened to all this support i was promised, not only for filling in the forms? Plan b still seems the better option.

    I think in your circumstances you don't want to claim income related esa as you don't have any coming in anymore.

    Is there a helpline number on the form? There used to be a dedicated line where they would help you complete the forms over the phone and then post them out to you for signature.
