Evening guys, busy catching up but thought I'd better post before the site goes down for maintenance
I for my EA appointment this morning and it went well. Lady I saw was very sympathetic about my arthritis and other health problems plus she had lost her husband 6 years ago to a brain tumour so she appreciated how I felt. We talked about my health, and she said that she would call me back for appointment in 3 months to talk and plan what to put on my medical forms I would be receiving shortly after that. When I asked her about my ESA being stopped since July to be replaced by Bereavement Benefit, she said that I in fact did not need to attend any further interviews as all I as doing it for was NI credits, and I'd confirmed that I had enough contributions for my pension already. So she advised me to ring and close my ESA claim when I was ready
I then struggled across the town centre to pick up my Bon Marche order and then back to car, and home, with my knee giving on me painfully again, but at least I had my folding walking stick with meGot home, and got my things ready for travelling back to Portsmouth, and waiting for a delivery which came at 11.30am so, after calling to get car washed and fill up with petrol, I was on the road at noon, and got down here at 3.30pm. Roads were good and no traffic problems.
Temperature overnight had been -6 and stayed -6/-5 all morning, though it did reach +1 at one point on the way down. Slight wet snow/sleet here this evening but heavy snow is expected tomorrow morning. We are getting a taxi to the station to get the train to London just after 9am so hope to be in London before the worst arrives .......... fingers crossed. Are we mad going to London for the weekend with the weather that is forecast? We've paid for the hotel rooms and train tickets so we are going no matter what :beer:
Hope everyone is well and staying safe and warm, back to catching up again now
Have a lovely weekend.:beer:0 -

Good morning all.
No snow here yet, just breezy and feels cold, but the cars aren't frosted up. I'm on nights over the weekend, so not looking forward to driving to work in the snow.
Please be careful everyone, keep safe and warm.
I cut my forefinger, right across the knuckle, while sharpening a big kitchen knife last night. :eek: DS1 did his first aid bit , cos it is deep and it wouldn't stop bleeding. DH no good with injuries, he says it makes him feel sick!! It hurts like hell this morning and I have splinted my finger cos every time I move it the big flap opens up. :eek: Gonna be fun at work!
Ouch! Naebbirac, please take your own advice and be careful. Hope it heals quickly.0 -
