Well the job centre was interesting. Very public and very humiliating. It seems my employment support allowance will run out in March, and then I get nothing as I have more than £16000 in savings. I can (and will) apply for PIP payments which are non means tested, but will not be nearly enough to be able to manage on. I know I should be grateful I have savings, but somehow, having worked all my life and paid all my dues, I foolishly thought the savings might make my old age more comfortable. As always,the harder you work, the less you get, the less you work, the more you get......something has to be wrong somewhere or is it me? Not entitled to a bean until savings are used up. Am feeling so thrilled that this bloody disease decided to join me for the rest of my life, we can grow old and poor together.
Bloods still out of normal range, for repeat Friday, Hosp next Monday. Weight out of control, all mirrors in the house banned.
