@Rosie_Scope To true, I.cant deal with really hot weather, would sit out in it when I was a teenager, I used sunbeds too but now I'm hiding indoors, blinds shut, iced drinks, really can't deal with it.

The only problems with sliding on ice, was my dad checked the bottom of our shoes, convinced he could tell if we was sliding, and wearing the soles out, we paid the price. Omg I feel old, it wasn't unusual to put cardboard inside our shoes if we had any holes even when I was first working.

Oh no @Teigr I really can't wait for spring winter seems like it's lingering

@Catherine21 I'm already regretting my vote. I hoped we would be safe with our disability benefits..migrating to UC was a total nightmare. I thought that this would be the hardest change in.my benefits, being told once I moved from ESA SG that I wouldn't receive any of the increases, as the extra money for my disabilities, will eventually be faced out.

Im now fighting the decision by council tax benefit as im apparently no longer entitled to any more than £4.00 a month benefit and i recieved a bill for nearly £400.00 in January to have been paid in full on the 2nd of February, im appealing but ive been told I need to set up a direct debit to start clearing this bill as I'll receive my new bill that will be increasing in April. Ive tried setting up a direct debit to pay what I can afford but I'm only able to have a direct debit that pays my bill in full, or im two halves.

Im totally terrified like everyone else, about how we will manage if the government makes radical changes to PIP, It's not a luxury its what I need to keep a roof over our heads. the council tax advisor i spoke too, told me he was in the same boat and only got the same reduced amount, I pointed out to him that the difference was he was able to work whereas I can't. Scary times ahead for all of us.

I'm sorry my posts are long everyone, im a chatterbox in life and obviously at texting too! 🤔 apologies.

I am petrified about being moved to UC and the hassle of doing so and the worse getting less money than what I am getting right now. I rather prefer not to think about it.

I am so so feel rather anxious but not as bad. Weather is bad.

So gloomy. Hoping weather will be better tomorrow.

Hope you are ok so far ..

I am scared about this government. The other one left me in peace a bit but this one seems to only attack the poor and sick. Not fair.

@Teigr hope you get better soon, my household has been the same, this winer, I had my covid and flu jabs, but it's been constant coughs and colds now we are experiencing the tummy bugs.

Teigr

Thank you @Elvisdog,it's annoying isn't it?

One thing after another.

Elvisdog

Definitely not our year @Teigr i have autoimmune problems, but.its not been this bad in years.

Teigr

Mr Teigr has treated me to a bottle of Beechams All In One,it makes me gag.

Sandy_123

Hope you get better soon

Nothing worse

Teigr

I think I've been cold free for about five days since the end of October @Sandy_123 .

Earlier today I was talking to someone who said she's had cold after cold since Christmas,she was really annoyed about it because it means she's had to stay away from her elderly mum.

Sandy_123

Oh no the weather's not been the best tho has it, up and down, hopefully you get better

Teigr

Thanks @Sandy_123 ,I'm hoping it's one of those colds that's not too bad after the first couple of days.

What have you been up to today?

Sandy_123

Housework mainly I'm waiting on the grandkids coming over. Usually here before now

Teigr

I stupidly volunteered to make cakes for my friend's grandson's birthday party,so I've been stuck in the kitchen today.

Sandy_123

Oh no I bet the cakes lovely tho

Schildpad

@Teigr when you give you receive... I take it this way trying to be good always and give as goodness comes back to me . Sometimes. But yes . Sure the cakes will be lovely...

Schildpad

Good night everyone. Keep warm. Bad weather is coming. I can't wait for warmer weather to arrive. Keep calm and try to have a good rest to those who find it difficult to sleep. Til tomorrow. Night.
