    Have you bought a lottery ticket tonight? :rotfl:

    I did...I didn't win :(

    Apologies that it's just a quick stop by from me tonight, I did a solo car boot today, have taken some boxes to the tip, made sarnie filling for tomorrow, packed up a couple of bits for fleabay, taken some photos of some other bits for fleabay I need to list tonight, had a bath, put away the washing and am totally cream crackered.

    Ani, you dinner sounds delicious, any left? :D

    Reckon I have ninja slimey critters, I know they've been but I never actually see the b*ggers .... must address saving my remaining toms tomorrow.

    Hi Ani your diary is evidently the place to be. I'm honoured to be a visitor. [IMG]http://big grin[/IMG] Not a good day today, more rain and sc have pooped all over my handrail! I'm trying to look at them kindly. Some have very pretty striped shells in coral and cream and others are yellow and green. Read an amusing fact today - Churchill's statue in London has an electrified head to stop pigeons landing and leaving their calling card.

    Another day in paradise. Another bleurgh day, in the true sense of the meaning. I'm tired of living the benefits dream. I'm tired of reading about others rose tinted perceptions. I'm tired of everything. Pah, i've just scrubbed that. Maybe i should retype it. It doesn't matter for whatever reason you have no quality of life does it? Life is the all important commodity. If you reach the stage where you are housebound and isolated, for whatever reason.

    Today i have an appt with sw who will say don't worry, it will all be sorted, for the millionth time, an appt for, well i'm not sure what? I got the health appt mixed up, and that is next week Esa are bound to put me in the return to work category, which is the governments way of giving you less money. They're not stupid. Lets create two categories, and filter off x%. How do you attend appts for your health and welfare if you are ill, and have to work? I am being forced to think about work wheher or not i'm fit and able, and whether i like it or not. Do i really not belong in the real world as i protesteth too much. Or do people like me just end up in the gutter somewhere? Thats a stereotypical view isn't it.

    I really don't know what to say except my heart goes out to you and if positive thoughts and prayers to any and every deity would help I'd send them. Do you know whether mp has been in touch with sw? Get that appeal in too if you have the energy.

    How did your sw meeting go?

    That's crazy/wrong about the ct. Who knows how you're supposed to pay it? Would it even be an option to query it, or is it one of those things that goes with the 13wks / 15 wks?

    I will echo flaxseed regarding the appeal but you might not have the energy today. Would it be any use one of us drafting something? (My head shuts down at the drafting stage when I have some paperwork to do which is why I wondered if it might help?)

    Btw, did anything happen about the charity that offered to sort out a cooker or plumb in the washing machine?

    Just looking at the SOA, I'm not sure the phone payment is in the right place - landline? But then I do get mixed up!

    SC count here down to 9 last night... something must be going right there. :)

    I read your post earlier Ani but wasn't able to reply - I'm really not sure what to say (yes, I heard that 'first time for everything :p) it's just all so wrong but then you don't need me telling you that. Hope you're ok - big hugs from me xx

    Thankyou for caring
