I think, anyway! Not sure now! So I'll put it to the MN jury...and I'll happily apologize, because I have the ability to own my shit.

Chatting to a friend about going out tonight (after the week I've had, I bloody deserve it!)

She started on a massive stretch about me claiming PIP to "piss it up the wall", I obviously need the disposible income, etc, etc. It was really bitchy!

She's made catty comments in the past, but tbh I thought that was down to me- I have a weird sense of humor, and take the piss out of myself all the time. But never like this.

She said that, if I was independant enough to go out alone (I'll be meeting a friend, but eill be making my own way) I shouldn't be claiming Personal INDEPENDANCE Payment, and that "I'm what's wrong with the government atm!

I sent her a REALLY sarky text in reply, but it's made me doubt myself!

I need to calm down...

Got out at 8 this morning, Fuck me they couldn't make hospitals more comfortable could they?! Felt like I was in a bloody sauna which I don't get because it's absolutely pissing it down in Grimsby (it's already on one of my threads where I am so fuck it)
I get to be on tablets for life and no more sprogs for me!

Why tell people what benefits you get anyway? Confused

It's obviously nothing to do with her though!

Queenofthestress · 12/08/2018 10:24

Also came back to the SIL complaining about the ex-dp (need to start a thread for advice on that shitshow actually), two shattered kids and an exhausted dp bless him, neither kid slept til 4am this morning

I don't "tell people"...but it's not private knowledge, becsuse I've helped other people with theirs. So people just know.

How is everyone today? I actually don't feel like death! Shock

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/08/2018 07:52

Well, that's good anyway!

It's my birthday! 😆

Queenofthestress · 13/08/2018 08:16

Happy birthday lovely! Hope you have a good day Flowers

YouTheCat · 13/08/2018 08:19

Happy birthday!

Does anyone else dread the sound of the letterbox? I have this irrational fear that it'll be more sodding forms telling me it's time to renew ds's PiP or Esa as I have to do it for him as he's autistic, has a learning disability and is being investigated for epilepsy.

I beginning to wonder if dd should apply. She's 23 and an Aspie with anxiety and depression. She's working but struggling. I'm not sure if the form filling would just make her anxiety worse.

Queenofthestress · 13/08/2018 08:21

If I could not have any post believe me I would! I dred it with a passion

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/08/2018 08:40

I have all that to come YouTheCat. DS1 does his own forms, I'll try and apply for PIP for me, from what Rad said, I might get something. The worst thing about being autistic, I think, is our bluntness. I'm not sure if I could play up the problems it causes me, because, as my psychotherapist says, I use coping strategies. I have a shit memory, so I do things in order, so everything's a cue for the next thing.

Thanks for the birthday wishes by the way! 😆

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/08/2018 08:43

Thanks Rad! I'll settle for a birthday fry up! 😂

YouTheCat · 13/08/2018 08:46

Also considering getting diagnosed. I cope but that's about it.

I'm off work today so I'm watching Marvel films and putting off filling in my divorce papers.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/08/2018 08:49

I just asked DD 10 to make me a fry up, she said, "Huh? I don't know how! I know how to work the microwave!"

I said, "A microwaved fry up sounds hideous! I wonder if they make one?"

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 13/08/2018 08:51

Queen just read it. You are absofuckinglutely in the right. (And that's coming from an ex druggie- eight years clean ❤)

YouTheCat if you need some support whilst claiming, or just a rsnt, park your butt here 😀

I'm going to ring the local FFAP and see what they say, they're the precursors to social services in my area
