But if WTC could top up a part time wage then thats ok surely?
IT could be something you are entitled to.
Dont dismiss it out of hand.
Is there another GP in your practice you could see?
Haven't you gotta be 25 or have a disability or child though?No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Beanie ~ I cant see another gp because they didnt prescribe the anti d's. I spoke to the doctor I saw on wednesday but she said she couldnt do anything.
Gem ~ I ahd this conversation about what I want to do on my other thread. I dont truely know but something I would like to do I cant because I am not trained. I was all set for doing an ou course this september but I didnt complete my maths course :rolleyes:0 -
Is the maths required for the OU then? How far off finishing were you?
Since you only need a low income, how about stay till the end of the summer? (You have to work four weeks notice anyway) Then temp or do part-time office work. And get your bum in gear for getting what you really want! You can do it huni, I know you can!No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -

Gem ~ no I dont need the maths for the ou. I left the maths course ages before finishing. I know you say only till the end of summer, but I have said only till my birthday, only for another month but it never happens. I am now counting the hours. I dont know what I 'want' but I know I need more of a life than I have now.
beanie ~ I am 22. No on wednesday I went to the docs about something unrelated, I have been on the anti d's about a month now, just after.0 -
Anti D's take 6 - 8 weeks to kick in. Give them another four weeks, then stick your four weeks notice in, that'll give your two more months pay (roughly) to save as much as possible. I know it's hard but trust me, knowing the date in your own head will help hugelyNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130

Right I have come to a desicion, I wont hand my notice in but thats purely because I dont see why I should suffer just because people are making me feel/act a certain way. Yes its not the best job in the world but it is a job, and more than I will have if I handed my notice in. If I havent got my job and this forum the sad fact is I would have nothing... I need to make this work. This however doesnt change my opinion on this and I will still be searching for jobs but I guess its a nessacary evil right now and I guess I can cope ~ just.
However I need something to stimulate my brain. In work I have nothing to get the old grey matter working and I think thats whats annoying me. I am in no way a person of very high intulect but I do think I have a good brain and I have great results... So I need to find something to put my mind to. This is however where I become stuck. What do I do?
~~~~~
So thats that, It was payday today and I got my promotion wages so got a bit more than I was expecting... however I am not banking on this everymonth just because. So after paying bills/transfering savings etc I have £217 for the month. My cheque from bt hasnt cashed yet though but I am placing that into savings anywaySo once that has been placed into savings I will have saved £410 this month :j Admittly £100 of that is holiday savings so wont 'count' but hey I dont think thats too bad eh
Still on target to fill my isa before the next tax year :j
Have spent some money today and going to town and the cinema tommorow but its all good0 -
Good for you Pap
I am sure it is the right decision - just try to stay focused and do not stop looking for something else - the right job is out there, you will find it
What about doing an Open University course? I am starting one in October as I need something to think about that isn't nursery rhymes and nappies :rotfl: If you are on a low income you might not have to pay anything, ask IA about that, I think she is an expert...0 -
NOt wanting to rock the boat but I dont think you are right.
I think your health is more important.
