    I know I should not be ashamed of getting government (tax payers) help because of my disability. I have always been bought up to see social security as sort of the last thing when you have to go cap in hand when you are on your lasts. I know that is a wrong way of thinking of it.

    How come you parents never go out when you want to use the phone? I will get around to phoning up about DEA when they go out.

    Positively, in the mean time I have found some more jobs I am going to apply for, including a trainee software tester (I would be very well suited to that). So with luck I might have some good news soon.

    Go and use a public phone box.

    I think the nearest call box is miles. They normally go out at least one day a week so I just have to wait.

    Do you not have a mobile, Phil? Or a friend who will let you use their phone?

    When they both go out together at the same time (when I am alone) is about one day a week. They do go out but not both at the same time more than that.
