    Definatly good news, and unexpected makes a difference to the unexpected being bad news eh?

    As for the benefits front I think I actually give up its 13 weeks tomorrow since I finished work and made a new claim. I think its a sign I need to stand on my own two feet and not rely on them. How?? I dont know yet I will find a way.

    No spends today :D Sent my sister to Lidl for me and she paid and doesnt want the money back so I invited her for tea to make up for it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Didnt get chance to bake cakes yesterday or today. I must do it with Cam tomorrow I hate letting him down.

    Holy moses :eek:

    That means i could still have another 3 weeks before my benefits come through. :eek: I've read on the benefits board, that people have waited 13+ weeks. There's no way, i'll survive that long. :o
