Tomorow I have to go back to the social fund office, and grovel for what will probably be another £6 loan.I actually feel like i woiuld rather starve than lower myself to go through that again.
Have sent my appeal forms off to hopefully get decision about benefit changed. I just would really like ONE teeny little thing to go right, just to make me feel like i might actually, eventually get sonewhere.
Though, obviously have had the best few days, courtesy of the crisis loan service!wild partying, plenty of food, the odd pair of designer shoes, ive paid my bills, and my rent, and bought the uni book i need, had a spree in topshop...its amazing how far i got!:p. i would never be sarcastic, dont know why you think that!
anyway, im taking the piss, or a might cry.its just so bloody miserable.its not like i was taking the piss, asking them to fund social life, shopping trips, i dunno, that sort of thing.I needed help to buy food and pay bills.And thats what benefit is for, essesntials, and it makes me cross that they just label everyone as out for what they can get.I could understand the being reluctant to fnd, ooh i dont know, someones crack supply, or strongbow habit. Ive had to go way of my mealplan the last few days and its messed me up bigstyle.im not bitching, im not wanting them to pay for me to have a good time, but surely the idea is to get better so i can come off benefit-so i dont see how this is helping.
For the record, six pounds will buy you-
toilet roll
2 pints milk
loaf bread
cheese
soap
couple of tins of fruit, and spaghetti hoops
and some cheapo squash to drink.
or i could have bought like a million packets of value biscuits-arg why is it so expensive to eat well??
so im really looking forward to being hung, drawn and quatered tomorow.
i dont know why i bother
also loving the fact that £6 isnt enough to pay for prescrip, cos cant get them free now, while this is being sorted...so am not looking forward to when i run out in couple of days, and start withdrawing.
jeez im feeling especiially cheerful today!

It's ridiculous that you are expected to live like this, but remember it won't be like this forever, and when you have more money again, you'll be able to stretch it further than most of us with your new thrifting skills.
Things will get sorted, it's a pity that in this country nothing ever happens fast, but this will get sorted, and when it does you'll feel happier than ever before :-)
Hang in there!

It's so ridiculous the way you get treated by benefits people. I hate that attitude that we are all just out to scam the system. Because obviously people don't need to pay for essential things like food and bills that they might actually need the money for. And it's so hard too that it costs so much to eat properly. I struggle with that all the time. I hope your appeal gets through soon, and please take care of yourself as best you can in the meantime.

haha strongbow! we dont have 2 pound cider in nz, but i had forgotten about it!
i am so sorry babe, its not fair, and sometimes its like... ummm its not your job to judge me motherucker, just gimme my money so i can live!
if you find a nice one, somehow try stick with the same person.
the sarahs are right, its not going to be forever, one day you will be flithy rich and you will be able to really appreciate it because of these times!
talk to u soon detective vics
Well you problem is your buying TP. You can go and use the restroom in the benifit office and steal there's! That'll show em.
I love the fact that you seem so positive about this. I would be a basket case.
