15months to debt free - I hope

Glad you've had some nice bits, and that your BiL was at the show through you thinking about him.

Do keep some sort of receipt or record of the mail redirection in case you can claim it as part of your duties.

What a time to need to do attendants allowance! Would it be helpful to keep a designated scrap of paper for jotting down on every time you find yourself thinking 'this is a bit of a struggle' or 'I must remember to mention that' before you fill in the form?
I try to note down things that I notice for when I'll have to have my PiP re-assessment, otherwise I either go blank or do that very British thing of saying 'Oh I'm absolutely fine thank you for asking', whilst lying in the foetal position on the floor in agony!

I must admit I hadent thought of AA needing to be renewed.  Shout if you need any help.

Rhank you. Mine was only for two years possibly because they thought I was too young or the myasthenia, arthritis etc would disappear. I wish.

That is a good idea as long as I dont lose the piece of paper   There is always something that gets forgotten because you are so used to it it is part of life.

Glad you enjoyed the show.  Hope the AA review goes ok.

Wouldn't it be nice if arthritis did go away on its own.  As far as I know the only thing that does remove it is removing the joint.  Pity the hip replacement didn't get rid of the rest but it did make it all seem less troublesome.  Good luick wih the form.  Do you keep copies of the old ones? I keep my DSs past PIP forms.

Yes I do do keep copies so I know what I said last time. Hopefully they havent changed the criteria. My longest standing arthritic problem is my knees but having people people who have had replacements it often doesnt seem to help as much as hips.

Evening all

I had the pleasure of confusing the lady in the pO this morning with my special circumstance mail redirection form. I dont think she had ever seen one before but all done and my purse is eighty odd pounds lighter!!! I also had a small sale so that was posted at the same time.

Very naughtily I called at the charity shop and  got a couple of books - a Johnathon Kellerman and another Scott Mariani. They will keep me occupied for a few days.

I have made a start on the AA form but not got very far yet. It is like the PIP form  - very time consuming but at least they know my name addrsess and what illnesses I have. Much more to go. Tomorrow I must have some time in the garden as I have done nothing out there since stuff happened. Thats assuming the weather is ok as I havent seen a forecast.

For the first time in a few days I got my afternoon nap and feel better for it.

The washing I did yesterday is all away except a couple of things that need an iron but I am not paying the to heat the iron for a shirt and and a couple of tea towels so it will wait until there is a decent amount to do.

I think thats it for today have a lovely weekend especially those that go to work.

A nap does wonders doesn't it.
Not at all naughty to contribute to charity and saving the planet through waste prevention, and get rewarded with a couple of books!

Books are never a naughty purchase!

Weather's looking good today, hope you get out into the garden.

Books are food for the soul.

I wonder how we would have managed without free libraries, such a pity so many of them are now closing.  They have closed over 60% of the ones locally but I believe some areas have closed all apart from the main one.
