Knit Witch's NitWit LBM, debt busting with yarn!

Knit_Witch

Nearly finished the first side of the comfy sweater :j, I think I will crack on with this until this side is done (oh and I have already cast on the other side as I needed help sorting a problem out on the first side a month back :) ), and I am 9 books into my target for the year - so that is going well as well!

Waiting to see if I will get paid on Friday or will they claim "you didn't send your ESA form back so we assume you no longer wish to claim"!

Hope your money comes through.

Thank you lucielle, I have heard so many horror stories of people getting their money stopped for no reason that I guess I am being pessimistic and anything good will be a bonus

Okay who stole January? Hmm come on now own up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Quick update - both sets of money are still coming through at the moment :j - so now just waiting on the decision (it was so much easier when I first went on Incapacity Benefit!)

Sweater - 1st side done, 2nd side a third done - I will finish it this month (no I will ... really!) - after that I will concentrate on the needlepoint and the cross stitch with some easy knitting to take down the pub

Books - well I finished January having read 36 :eek: which is 18 books ahead of target (I think we can safely say I am doing alright on this bit of my 2017 challenge).

Money ... hmm ... still in debt, I have gone back to paying the minimum and trying to get my current account looking healthier and once I am happier with that start snowballing my debts - I have three to clear but I am not adding the amounts to my sig as I don't want to pile the pressure on myself and start my depression spiral off again. Suffice to say it will take a little while!

Right time to grab the knitting!

Enjoy the knitting! It's the one craft that I can show the product and actually feel proud of it, though I haven't done any for a while

Maybe we should have a Knit-a-Long (and invite GQ from the KonMari thread to join us :rotfl:)

Had a phone call today (ate phone calls - I get major panic attacks), it was Don't Give AT*S phoning to arrange my PIP Assessment for next week - in between hyperventilating I managed to get across that any contact is supposed to be in WRITING and to my OH - DWP has a record of this but obviously didn't pass it on.

Now suicidal again

Got my PIP assessment this Saturday coming (9.30 in the morning and a hour away by car! 3 hours by public transport - so much for me close and easy to get to :mad:)

Need to knit this week to destress and unwind - wish me luck with both the week and the weekend!

please-let-me-be-lucky

Best of luck KW Xx
