        Always plenty to do!

        Be interesting what job seekers come up with and what they say your entitled to (income/contribution based) and whether they try a force you to do a job till later this month, though you should get 3 months to find a job in bookeeping, which will do, so it should be plain sailing, unless they want you to do 37hrs a week searching for a job – hopefully not!

          By far, dealing with the DWP is bad enough. Its when you try to sort out your council tax….that is a other level of nonsense you can do without.

            As above really, DWP/Council etc. etc. will severely test your ability to deal with half-wit idiots and logic that simply defies belief!.

            When my idiot former GP told me I wouldn’t be going back to work it took me over 2 years to get used to the idea!.  You’ll find a new way of looking at life and things will soon become your new “normal”.  Just try and go with the flow and enjoy yourself, we’re all only here once!

            Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
