    Everyone's discussing the budget over on this discussion so people wont get too confused. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    From my point of view, I'm expecting benefits news in the Spring now. But in a way, I'm happy with that, as it shows they're not willing to make and rash decisions and they're thinking things through and speaking to charities about it all.

    I shared the link below in a thread a few days ago, but for those who may have missed it attached link below. The Treasury and Rachel Reeves announced on 28 October 2024, the forthcoming rollout of the "Get Britain Working" White Paper.

    This document is scheduled to be unveiled later this autumn and will outline the governmentโ€™s ambitious plans to assist individuals in re-entering the workforce. While it is possible that we may need to wait until next year for full implementation, I anticipate that the White Paper will provide some insights into what we can expect prior to next spring.

    you do make me smile and laugh!

    it's Keir Starmer (his dad was a toolmaker)

    tbh the way you are treated upsets me greatly and angers me, you have rights and they need to realise it.

    I get the same I even had my friend arrange a date for me on Thursday behind my back, I've always been a mug and think and feel the same as you.

    I'm the same tend to look for the good in people and treated badly. Been through abuse , domestic abuse , had friends treat me like a door mat, relationship with a narcissistic and a domestic abuser. I now.dont want friends, don't want to go out, don't want a relationship. I have chronic illness which I won't recover from . Can't do a lot like I used to. Have lost my mum, brother and sister since 2017 . Was there when mum died in hospital when they failed her.

    I was her carer. I've never got over it, been abused and belittled for having Autism. I'm on antidepressants again. All this worry with what the government going to do just puts a strain on me.

    it breaks my heart it genuinely does what you've all been through.

    it's always the loveliest people who get the **** in life, while nasty people coast through without a care in the world.

    @Andi66 , Sending GIGANTIC BIG HUGS TO YOU TODAY and every single day . My heart goes out to you . I do see some of what you put in your post in myself. Being treated like a doormat is despicable. I'm so sorry to hear how people have treated you . You didn't deserve any of that ever . I'm also so sorry for all of your loss . It's heartbreaking to hear your life story I wished none of these things happened to you . Sending more GIGANTIC BIG HUGS. You to everyone here are 1 in a million. I hope and pray for brighter days ahead ๐Ÿ™. God bless you always ๐Ÿ™

    I was curious if anyone else has had a issue with this . Mind not switching off at night . Not being able to sleep and then waking up after only a few hours of sleep? Thanks in advance. Take care of yourselves please ๐Ÿ™.

    I sleep a maximum of 5 hours at night but more often 3-4. Then another hour early afternoon.

    this is because of overlapping issues, nightmares, trips to the bathroom, songs playing in my head and anxieties.

    Mum gets up for home dialysis also Many nights between 1 and 4am do the rest of the day is hers, I just get stuck into my films or kindle books or whatever else before all the idiots get up and mow lawns, phone,knock on the door, drill, hammer, rev engines etc sooooo peaceful
