Mudbath you have done better than me this last week but I have the excuse I have had visitors. I had to clear a bedroom of lots of things belonging to two sons who now live in USA and also things that came from my dads and aunts houses. In the end the easiest thing was to clear them out. They went to local church which needs money for a roof repair. I went to the church sale yesterday and did spend £2.50 on books for Mr P, but as must of the bricbrac came from here I wasn't tempted to buy.

beanielou I have sent you a PM

I had a wonderful two weeks with family but the have now gone home to the States. I

I have had terrible tooth pain and had the beginnings of root canal surgery yesterday, so not very good at posting the last few days. Now just £20.40 spent on it so not too bad.

I have two items of good news. DS2 had his ESA reinstated at tribunal on Tuesday (huge relief) and we also bought a beautiful 17 month old labrador. She is gorgeous and just what our family needed. She was being rehomed because the family are moving home and couldn't take her with them.

She was £200 but worth every penny. Mr P can now stop wandering aimlessly around outside. DS2 has company if he needs it. And I have an extremely loyal follower.

Knitwitch they are taking ages with your reconsideration. Can you phone to ask at this stage? From DS2's assessment appointment to tribunal took 8 months. But that is ESA

My friend was turned down for PIP after the change from DLA. Went to tribunal and still didnt get it so she was advised to reapply. Having no faith in the system and no longer being able to get to work she put her house on the market. It sold quickly and just as she is about to move out received a letter saying she has been awarded PIP. It is too late now as she has no home here and no job. She is moving somewhere warmer.

It seems to depend who you get on a particular day. And is the most ludicrous system ever. I hope you hear soon knitwitch as the waiting is horrible.


The pup is gorgeous and really well behaved and settled too.

I would really suggest you do this.
It is usually very very helpful.
