Well tomorrow I got a colonoscopy in Sheffield.
Just taken the first dose of clearing out stuff, it tastes bloody horrible
Another dose of more potent stuff in approximately 3 hours to take as well.
I'm going to be starving by tomorrow morning, at least the procedure is at 9.30am

So tonight we crack our second site in just 3 weeks before private Balliffs move us on Saturday. They are animals who damage both trailers and vehicles getting them to the highway . Best we move ourselves.
Wish us luck, prep done to access with chainsaw and lock sorted already.

So today is my 65th birthday.
In years gone past I would be applying for my State Pension.
However due to government messing about I have another 16 month to do before I get SP.
In addition I have the transfer to Universal Credit letter, Happy Birthday.

So evicted from a long standing site.
Eviction date the 18th.
Managed to break a new site 12 days ago but just been told we have to a week Saturday before Balliffs tow us off.
Gained a whole 3 days...
It's getting really hard to live on the road.

Just had to fill in the application form to renew my blue badge and hand delivered.
14 pages of which 12 I had to fill in.
Taken two weeks and still have to get a photo taken and sent in.
I swear it was as difficult and stressful as a PiP form.

If you’ve never had to fill in the form, try to collect all the supporting evidence and then been through a PIP assessment.
If you've never had your condition dismissed by a stranger.
If you've never lived in terror of the brown envelope. Then your opinion on PIP is worthless.

Meta's deliberate withdrawing of these systems / apps is bordering on criminal.

A favourite song when I DJed in the late '70's and into the '80's as a Last Song of The Evening.

Good morning lovely phone family. Another wet and cold day here. How's it looking for you?
When I speak to homeless folk, they're as grateful for the time and effort of those chatting to them as much as financial or practical support. We all need kindness 🥰
Have a great day 😘
