After yesterday's budget, the media are, once again, having a go at people on benefits. 😡

For me personally, I started working in 1998.
I used to temp through agencies when I was still living at my Mam and Dad's.

There were some jobs that were a week there or two weeks there.

Been to the Tyneside Cinema this afternoon to see DRAGONFLY starring Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Risborough.
Film that takes a dark twist after a tragic event.
In my opinion ?
Instead of a film it could have been a Channel 5 drama over two nights.

Didn't do my evening routine yesterday so that can wait until next Monday evening but managed to do 4 out of my 7 tasks during the night meaning one happy Paul. 😊
Now ?
As the world wakes up time for the land of nod and see what adventures my brain invents. 😴

Well, we are a week into this year's series.
I am so glad I'M A CELEBRITY... GET ME OUT OF HERE! is back.
It's one of my t.v. highlights of the year and t.v. escapism for me.
This year I know 7 out of the 12 celebrities - although some I don't know how you can call them "celebrities"
But, what makes

We watched a really good 1997 episode of The Bill yesterday which featured audio as part of its central conceit. The episode was called It’s Good to Talk. Spoilers if you want to continue reading 🧵

Just sat and wrote out my routine, which I hadn't done for a few weeks as I was ahead of myself.
I still was for another week up until 23rd November.
The latest fortnight I have wrote out takes me up to 7th December.
Another fortnight after that will be almost Christmas week ! 😱

Over the last couple of weeks, with one of my Support Workers, I have tackled two areas of my living room, doing what I feel comfortable with.
I have been speaking to my Support Worker and told her there is one more area in the living room that I feel comfortable doing but the rest I feel

Well, my Adult Social Care Worker has been out to visit me for my 6 week review with my Hoarding and my support.
She is really happy with what I have achieved over the last 6 weeks with my Support Workers since she was last out visiting me.
It is a constant uphill battle but she said the aim is to

Just seen this on BBC Breakfast.
Quite interesting.
Historic Commons debate offers hope over hoarding support
Birmingham Erdington MP, Paulette Hamilton, led the debate in Parliament, calling for new national guidelines.

On 25th October I volunteered at the Springfield Community Association in my usual role as a photographer for their Halloween do.
Here are just some of the many photos I took on the day that they have decided to use for the website.
I may be on long-term sick but it's nice to give something back

I went to the Vue at Cramlington yesterday evening to see BACK TO THE FUTURE for its 40th Anniversary re-release.
I could never get bored of seeing this film.

This task of dealing with sorting out my hoarding is bad enough without my Support Worker getting frustrated with me. 😔

It's mentally tough on me and my Support Worker today was annoyed and frustrated with me as she said I was ignoring suggestions from her and not getting rid of much.

It's my

Well, sometimes you have to rest up and do what is best for your body.
Yesterday my right ankle was hurting.
I took some painkillers after my Support Worker had gone and then another dose last night.
They knocked me out so I didn't do my routine last night but I would've been no good tidying up as

Successful evening routine done for me yesterday evening with all the tasks done that I was wanting done.
Then did my Monday night routine and I got 3 out of my 7 tasks done.
I was going to aim for a 4th but I came back to bed for a power nap and set my alarm for the
