    Best way of spending a Friday evening - in my case it's red wine rather than gin. Are you still doing the shifts or did you move to the other job? Apologies for losing track, I had a short enforced break from here for a while courtesy of reacting to one of the regular trolls. 
    HSE job, so lovely fixed shifts

    That's perfect Mel. Life is falling into place for you and you deserve the good things.

    Work is going well
    Busy which is ace.
    Had a small wobble this week,. Got a text from the dwp about his claim and they have now closed it as I told them I was no longer his appointee. 
    Got notice of eviction served on the bungalow. 
    I have manged to not sort either of these things out as they are not my circus but the need to was massive. 

    Hope your are all.well

    Good to hear from you, Melly,
    It must have been hard for you not to get involved but you did the right thing.
    But why do DWP have your contact details for your ex's issues?
    You should make it very clear that you are no longer connected in any way and they should not contact you ever again about him.
    They should have it on record that you are no longer his appointee and deal with him directly.

    Because when I split the claim I stupidly sorted his out and it still has my phone number on it. 
    I'm being good no more sorting out his crap 
    Expecting some more fall out following him getting a notice to seek possession though.

    I was going to ask something, then thought nope, absolutely none of your business any more so I’m pleased for you that you told DWP to leave you out of it.
    Is this your health and safety job melly?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It is
    They had a very limited covid response plan in place so had to deal with the HSE last week. 
    My boss is interesting but everyone else is lovely. 
    I did think about contacting his family to forewarn him but decided after much coaching it's not my problem.
