System Failure !

Thanks for that 🙀
Tbh I wasn't sure what it all entailed , and if I was up to it .
I didn't know if it would affect my claim for LCW . 

I'm more of a private person also who just keeps quiet and gets on with things . 

There may be a chance to apply still , but I honestly don't know .

doingitanyway

Of course you are up to it! I don't see how applying affects your privacy?
I doubt it would affect your benefits, but post on the benefits thread or call the charity adviser for your condition and ask them. 
Read the information and requirements and apply. If you get it and don't want it turn it down. If you don't get it it is good experience with applications and interviews. Win. Win.
It may help with keeping things under control with where you live AC

Thanks DIA 😼 
I've just posted question on the house buying section ,so I'll see what way the land lies.

Very busy day . Lots of phone calls . ☎️ 

Mr .specialist fro st. Thomas's hsp phoned me unexpectedly . I'll see him in 6 months all going well. I had to make a phone appt with Mrs DR for tomorrow . No rush, but it's to let her know i now have a LCW and am applying for PIp so have to let her know to xoect being contacted . 

I then had another phone session with mr trainer 🏋️. Trouble is, it wasn't a video session ,but he was trying to set up a new app system which gives me proper access . It took forever ,and I didn't do the exercise as I thought I would . I'm tired now ,so may train tonight or definitely tomorrow . 

I got a phone call from the work related guy finally , and that went well . 

I phoned my local friend and it was great talking to him . 

I'm expecting a call from my brother. The awkward one . That should be it . 

I bumped into the male neighbour who is moving out . A nice enough chat . 

They are moving to creekmoor , which my friend told me isn't as good as here .
I made a tough choice ehen I moved . Flat or Hse / nice area or not so nice area etc.
I went for the most familiar and best area on my budget meaning flats . I know that flats are more problematic , but am crossing my fingers hoping that things will be ok for me.
Most of my time here has been fine . We'll see.
I'll leave it there ...😼

Another vote to apply.

And another one - it would really help with the situation in the flats if you "had a voice".

Thanks all 😼 I've posted topic on house buying forum if you want to see advice there also

A day of annoyance , worry and  reflection .
The worry and reflection : The large family moving out from one of the flats above mine . TBH looking back, they were selfish and never showed me any respect and I believe I was very patient and put up with a lot . I won't list anything at this time if ever, as this post would be too long for anyone to bother with. The druggies . Will they kick off again knowing that there is only me in this part of the converted house? 

Who am I going to get In place of them ? How long have the druggies got left etc?

Then of course , I have to think reluctantly if I've made a big mistake in everything .
Do I rent for the rest of my life. Do I lose my universal credit ? The only thing I can do is wait until the new lot move in , and the druggies move out before I even contemplate making any decisions . The moving out operation is in full swing now . I'll leave it there..

I've just looked at the new training schedule / workouts that mr trainer 🏋️ Has put up on his new webpage . He has rushed things through and I'm not impressed . I purchased some resistance bands a few weeks back . He hasn't gone through how to use them in my flat , but just posted trx workouts instead without going through things . He also included exercises with a stability ball which I don't have. He did discuss with me yesterday the benefits of me getting a bench for the flat . Exercises are up for that already . 

I left feedback and asked if he could post my old exercises from a couple of weeks ago on there . It's probably a mistake . For the first time , I'm asking questions . Not good . Not happy . I've had a good run , but  now have to re evaluate everything . 

Again , I"ll leave it there..

Hi there, have you considered stopping your sessions with personal trainer. There is just so much free available for fitness videos on Youtube now and would save you the extra expense of a trainer. Gradual weight loss and fitness is as much about healthy eating (not 'dieting') and a good start is eating low carb foods. That is limiting starchy and sugary foods such as potatoes, rice, pasta, crisps etc. Really no need to be buying expensive equipment. A good walk daily is just as beneficial and when that's not convenient, just put on some music and checkout some online exercise videos.

Thanks for dropping by count the cost . 

I don't know if you know my full history from my diaries . 

Trying to be brief , I have food issues / Don't know many people in the area since moving/
With mr trainer , it's more than just a wooden training session for an hour and stopping / he is very cheap/ He has been beneficial in my claims for LCW etc I won't go on

The reason he is trying to get me a bench and stepper, is because of the corona virus situation . He knows I won't be physically seeing him till at least August . The equipment is not too expensive considering I haven't paid him anything since May .
I do understand where you're coming from regarding you tube vids etc
However his sessions are personalised for my condition , plus you don't get somebody on your case so to speak on you tube videos . 

Something to consider tho..

Hello Harz😼

The electricians were in the communal area till about 8pm last night . No problem with that ,as they have a job to do etc. This morning they started around 8am for another day . Again , no problem . However, I decided to go for a walk this morning . This is when things got interesting ...
I said good morning to the electricians on the way out  , fair enough . Just as I was going out the front door ( with my mask on), The bearded druggie walked into me . I said good morning and got nothing in return . That's the thing with young arrogant self entitled druggies..it's always someone else's fault . 

I don't think he was here last night , and due to the electricians doing their business had stayed at one of his friends places and did his usual . 

He knows that I'm here , so it'll be interesting to see if he has anymore parties . 

I'm waiting to bump into the snoop next door to get his take as to who he thinks will move in and whether he is aware of my complaints . The family that moved out flooded parts of his flat and he seems to get on ok with the landlord . 

I know that all the worrying won't change anything , so I need to wait for things to happen rather than expect..a bad fault of mine . 

I'll leave it there ..
