It's now Tuesday afternoon and I got back a while ago, just had some chicken pasta.
It's been a really mixed day, the bus app said everything is running fine, but there was a half an hour delay so I was a bit late for my UC appointment.
Normally they are supposed to arrive every 10 minutes, so not sure what the problem was.
Luckily, they were running late too, so he wasn't annoyed at me. For the most part it went fine, I told him all about essential oils for his cough, and binaural beats to treat giving up smoking.
(I'm not sure why I felt the need to cure him, ha), but I guess I help people where I can).
But he was firing questions at me, like he didn't have access to the online journal, where everything is laid out for him.
How the hell do I have the extensive details memorised, when it's all there for you to look at? What the hell is the point of doing that, when you're asking for specifics?
I found that really tiresome, so he said, jot down some notes for next week, ugh, was hoping it would be next month, pfft.
I'm just going to forgo that crap and embarrass him, by opening the journal in front of him and recalling all the information, that the bs questions require me to know. *Rolls eyes*
Then he asked for a morning or afternoon slot and I picked morning and he said, 9amish is the only free time available, pfft.
At least that's done for now. I am so drained, my back is killing me and I feel a lil dizzy.
But I checked the post and there was a letter from the council so following my re-applying for the housing benefit.
And taking hours to fill in the form, and uploads loads of documents, it seems to indicate that I'm still entitled to it.
Thank heavens for that, it was stressing me out so much. As usual with the council, they randomly stop/start the allowance, which puts me into debt.
However for now, it seems like they are happy with all the evidence I provided and the fact that I added ridiculous amounts of excess information, to explain myself and my circumstances..
Seemed to go in my favour because I didn't have the rent statements to add and I have no idea when it increased so I couldn't provide those details and ended up sending them the rent receipts, I make sure I request from the landlord..
Ideally I would like to rest but I need to add stuff to the journal, to stop the nagging.
I'm still craving sushi but I'm going to continue being careful and then maybe at Christmas time, possibly it will be more affordable then...
Mama's all excited about it. I don't think she wants to do a roast this year, normally it's chicken but I think she wants fish and chips or Chinese this year, which is cool by me.
I'm not really fussed as unless she invites people around, which I kinda hope not, it will just be the two of us.
I'm not sure I will ever get rid of that eating anxiety, of munching in front of people, my appetite just disappears and I can't savour anything.
But it's her place and I never object, I just disappear into my guest room and take a breather instead.
I have seen a knock off version of Ferreros, Brompton House, 10x £3 but I want them to go on sale.
Or I might see if there's a dark chocolate version because both me and her, are quite enjoying that.
There's still time to decide what to get. She told me not to get her any gifts and I'm not sure at the moment I can afford to anyway.
As I've treated her to stuff already but if I can save a bit and find out she needs anything, I will try and budget and purchase it for her.
I'll definitely try and get some treats for us both though. Oh and she wants some essential oils so that's easy enough.
