    3Dogs, if you are still doing toluna, this might help.

    Wow, that will help - thanks Aesop :T :T

    Sorry, I have been doing some paperwork as I have to take it in to Council Office tomorrow re Housing Benefit/council Tax Benefit which they suspended when DWP incorrectly stopped my Incapacity benefit, which is all sorted now. Have to take all my paperwork in again though :mad:

    Not taking much with me. It's a fresh start and I don't need it.

    I am genuinely happy for you. Life can be so empowering. It has been an amazing day for me. I cannot believe how much i have achieved either. No matter how bad things get things always get better. You just have to be patient. Timsel. Yay for Mr Steinbeck. He rocks too.

    When I Am Old.

    When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
    With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
    And I shall spend my pension
    on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals,
    and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
    And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
    And run my stick along the public railings,
    And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
    I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
    And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
    And learn to spit.
    You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
    And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
    Or only bread and pickle for a week,
    And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
    and things in boxes.
    But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
    And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
    And set a good example for the children.
    We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
    But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
    So people who know me
    are not too shocked and surprised,
    When suddenly I am old
    and start to wear purple!
