    I think there has been sunshine, but i haven't had chance to appreciate it. Just a couple more things to apply for / sort, tomorrow, then sit back and wait? and wait....... and wait............. and wait...................

    I suspect it will be months before i see any ££££'s in my account. Still big fat 00.00's today. :o If i don't have the money to pay the bills which are coming due, i don't. There's little i can do, now, except wait.............and wait....................and wait.........................


    Whilst i am waiting, i am going to read my book, ( yes really.) I managed to get to halfway through on saturday, and i've just arrived at the " good part ". :rotfl: I shouldn't laugh. It's a serious book, ( for the most part.) Reading is definitely on the cards, later this week.


    Approaching the desination in one journey? i've started to turn my thoughts to this place, ( i still don't call it home.) The kitchen has to be emptied by mid september, and it's going to take me a very long time, unaided. I've got some boxes today, so i'm going to be living in even more of a mess, in the living room, which still has a substantial amount of kitchen contents in, already. I've done no unpacking, since the initial move. It's not conducive to being a peaceful or restful plave to live. I've also had to buy some more files, ( 6 for 99p.) I've accumulated so much s* , sorry, paperwork, since i moved in here. Letter after letter after letter, and photocopies of letters, and more letters, and i stopped filing / started get in a mess with it all, around the time of the dro. Prior to that, my " visitors " were impressed with how organised i was. It all needs putting to bed, for now at any rate? Actually, the first " task " should be all the filing. I don't want to set myself tasks, lists, or must do's. Just take it as it comes and how i feel / am able to cope. This place also needs decorating at some point and the carpets cleaning. There's no way i can comtemplate that right now.

    So much to do, but i don't want to think about it, and more so, stress, about it, because i get stressed about every simple little thing.

    I'm just here long enough to say hello and that I hope to be back later tomorrow (got a training day).

    One step at a time. The boxes will be very useful for standing chocolate plants on. :)

    You won't be waiting very long... Did you ring DWP?

    Your ESA should be very soon, and if you have DLA they pay quickly and in arrears from date of application. Waiting is very very hard!

    Reading is good, is it shades of grey? Or something literary or erudite?

    You won't call it home till it feels like it. We have been here nine months and are still unpacking and home making ... And there are two of us to do it all.

    Can you sort it into piles and boxes? You seem like a person who prefers order, so maybe you will find some comfort in sorting, when you can be objective enough.

    This place also needs decorating at some point and the carpets cleaning. There's no way i can comtemplate that right now.

    This too will come in time. You are right. Decorating is way down the list of your priorities.

    So much to do, but i don't want to think about it, and more so, stress, about it, because i get stressed about every simple little thing.

    Seriously Ani, you need a break, a holiday, some rest and recuperation, some respite, some practical support and some friends to come and muck in.

    For what it's worth one can get very isolated losing work and getting trapped up in benefit.... Seriously come to Edinburgh....:A

    Peace be

    It certainly is. :o It's over a week, already. Is that impatience? Or disbelief. Time is running out fast, with regard to paying bills. Ah well.


    Reading is good, is it shades of grey? Or something literary or erudite?
    More autobiographical. Don't do erotica. :rotfl:


    You won't call it home till it feels like it. We have been here nine months and are still unpacking and home making ... And there are two of us to do it all.
    That's encouraging to read. You've been there roughly the same length of time i've been here. How time flies? Will i ever feel like i have a home, again?



    Can you sort it into piles and boxes? You seem like a person who prefers order, so maybe you will find some comfort in sorting, when you can be objective enough.
    I'm definitely not a person who likes order, although it could be said, like on a school report, could try harder, at the moment, although i was in the trying hard category, not so long ago. :rotfl:




    Seriously Ani, you need a break, a holiday, some rest and recuperation, some respite, some practical support and some friends to come and muck in.
    Yes. Having some sort of small break has been on my mind, even though in truth, i'm not safe to do so, and i'm aware of the judgements of other people. Friends to come and muck in. That just aint gonna happen. :o
    For what it's worth one can get very isolated losing work and getting trapped up in benefit.... Seriously come to Edinburgh....:A
    I've already been isolated for so long now. I will definitely come to Edinburgh, if that's ok? Once i have enough money for the fare, that is. What's the worst that can happen. That you are an axe murderer and you kill me? None of it matters anymore, to be fair. :rotfl:

    There you go, textbook example...........:rotfl::rotfl:


    I'll try and explain in easy terms

    Put
    How do I do quotes in paragraphs like you do?
    and hey presto, ( hopefully.) :D



    Buga it, i've quoted :rotfl:


    Ok, example. Insert [ QUOTE] How do I do quotes in paragraphs like you do? [ /QUOTE] before and after each thing you want to quote, but miss out / don't leave the space i've left at the beginning of each bracket, in order to show you what to do, ( if that makes sense.) :rotfl:

    Always put exactly what i've shown you, before and after each quote, so just pick the bits you want to quote. :D


    Hope this isn't too confusing.

    Worse things than not paying bils mate, honest :p

    That's what they all say on here....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You will, promise.

    I hate paperwork and filing. I set myself rewards for doing any of it.
    Gradually getting more yarn and a filing system;)



    Yes. Having some sort of small break has been on my mind, even though in truth, i'm not safe to do so, and i'm aware of the judgements of other people.


    F other people's judgements, bigotry or nasty opinions. You have a right to a life.....

    Friends to come and muck in. That just aint gonna happen. :o

    I am happy to pm you my phone number, Facebook and did you get my couch surf profile?

    I've already been isolated for so long now. I will definitely come to Edinburgh, if that's ok?

    You bet it's ok. I am banking on it.


    Once i have enough money for the fare, that is. What's the worst that can happen. That you are an axe murderer and you kill me? None of it matters anymore, to be fair. :rotfl:

    I am not an axe murderer. I am a grandmother.
    I won't kill you. I would get life in a secure mental hospital if I did
    You matter Ani, don't let them make you forget that....:A

    Have a good and productive day

    Ah, you have to insert brackets around each statement you want to reply to. Bit tedious, but heyho. :)
