un-hinged!

mary_hinge

Anyone with 10 year old children reading?! Would you allow your child to self medication their own prescribed drugs (talking 7 drugs some taken once, twice, three and four times aday?!)

Would you make your child of 10 use a potty over night so they didnt need help to the bathroom as they can't manage the stairs independently?

Could a 10year old operate their own electric bathlift and supervise themselves in a bath incase they have a siezure whilst in the water?

Who considers a person relient on crutches and a wheelchair to be "independently mobile".......

Oh yes that would be the DWP then :mad:

poor hinge - that sounds awful. There is no way DWP should expect that of anyone let alone a 10 year old!! keep fighting xx

Mrs Hinge you must release your inner wrath :mad: on them!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Mrs H that is truly awful! There is no way my 10 year old could do that, and he doesn't have the problems Missy Hinge has. Shocking and sickening all at the same time Xx

Just catching up Mrs H.

I am gobsmacked at the DWP. Get your MP involved, and sharpish!! And if it was me I would be going for gold and going to a national rag like the daily mail to point it all out. You would be amazed at how quickly the box tickers change their minds when the bosses look bad.

Poor Missy H. I would not expect her to handle those things on her own at any point until she was minimum 16, and some frankly never!

Big hugs to you. Keep on fighting. Get angry and get creative xxx

I don't let my DH sort his own medications never mind a 10yr old:eek:

I know some people complain about PIP (the new DLA for adults) but it is brilliant for people who have a lot of aids and adaptations and you can score loads of points for needing them but under DLA if you have aids/adaptations they class you as not being as disabled.


Madness all round and fuming on Mrs Hinge's behalf:mad:

So today I a less raging and more in the "plan of action" mode. I am gathering even more evidence to bombard the delightful people at the dwp.

I've has my wage slip through today with only SSP not holiday pay :mad: I have emailed payroll and requested they get on it asap as this is totally unacceptable!

Today saw me buying 4 newspapers.... 2 for Mr Aldi £10 off a £50 spend and 2 for Mr M £5 free fruit and veggies with a £10 spend on anything :money: ....... even I struggled to spend £50 in aldi :rotfl: we have enough cereals, tins, toilet roll, cleaning stuff, rice, pasta, crisps..... for the month :rotfl: £47 spent after the vouchers were taken off. Gotta love a 50p chocolate giant santa and a posh tin of short bread for less then £2.50 :j will check the store cupboards for baking ingredients and make a list for next weeks shop for the last of the vouchers. I saw a frozen turkey i liked for £9 so think I will take the oppurtunity to get a bit more organised!

Tomorrow I will head to Mr M after the school run to pick up 2 bottles of spirits (xmas presents) and £10 worth of fruit and veggies, Mr Hinge will take 1 through the till and so will I to make the most of the 2 vouchers :T

I have dough proofing in the fridge for fresh cobs in the morning for Mr H's bacon butties, left overs from the garlic bread I made tonight

meals look:

Friday paninis with hm wedges
Saturday beef stew and dumplings
Sunday Roast chicken
Monday LO chicken maybe risotto with mushrooms and peas
Tuesday lasange garlic bread
Wednesday Stirfry and chow mein noodles
Thursday Pizza and wedges

Missy Hinge and I are planning a challenge, we are going to have a look at some budget recipies and the week before xmas we will try to eat for £1 a day each, the savings made will be used on a nice girlie treat :j

Now what one earth do I do with a chunk of French Brie?! I couldn't resist it for 69p but haven't a clue what to do with it :rotfl:

mary_hinge

:eek: what a day!

No Mr M's today I had forgotten I had signed up to go and help superman at school today making christmas decorations...... glitter everywhere, cotton wool stuck everywhere and more glue on me then anywhere else :rotfl:

I have had a very spendy day though :cool: I have made a few purchases on the Black friday deals :money: a beard trimmer for Mr Hinge, some posh knitting needles for my birthday, actifry, several other crafty things for presents and a new car tyre :rotfl:

What, if anything did you all buy?!

Glad you managed to get some presents - was the tyre on a Black Friday deal:rotfl:


I hate Black Friday, the deals I looked at like Amazon's were not really that great so I didn't buy anything.
I will start my Xmas shopping next week.


Glad you to hear you have purchased an actifry - they are brilliant. We are on our 2nd one after DH set fire to our first one:eek:

set fire?! How?! I throw out Mr H's fryer 2 years ago now and have said I wild replace it but never have. In hoping having proper chips to hand will stop him moaning about it having no food:cool:
