Felt physically crud this morning so didn't go to the gym. Don't worry I'm not quitting this, just been a mad couple of weeks.

Couldn't get a lift to DSS. Didn't have dosh, so walked up there *knackered*

Crap. Forgot the Income Support bit is based in Peterborough now, it's just a jobcentre there now :( Burst into tears :roll:

Used their phone to phone I.S. told the girl the whole story. There was NOTHING in my notes about them phoning me within 24 hrs!!! She took my mobile number and I waited outside for a callback. She arranged for a payment but I'd missed the 3 o'clock one so I'd have to wait 50 mins for 4pm. She had even called back to tell me the Post Office nearby is shut now and organised it for the central one. Jeez! Someone helpful!

Waited. And waited. Chatted with the security guys. They knew my ex boss cos she bantered with them when she was working from there.

They gave me £80, which is the £20 X 4 which has been taken off a month too early.

Walked into town *knackered*

Cashed it. Had a latte. Ahhhhhh! Bisto. :))

Bus home. Ex phones and I make it home in time for the wee man being there.

When ex turned up I found out there had been LOTS more trouble with the boy. His cousin is banned from hanging out with him. They're both grounded. A friend of his cousin's mum saw them doing something particularly naughty. Feck. She's not his aunt, she's actually his real cousin but I don't know what to call her child so we just say that HE is the cousin :??:

Anyway, dealt with all that. Meh, all in a day's ...

And ... I swallowed my pride and have my friend back again :>> :>> :>>

All in all, I'd call it a good day :wave:
