15th August, 2014.
You know, I am rather strapped for cash, right now.
Basically … ? Basically, I’ve seen some of my benefit payments suspended, as a result of being laid off from a Work Placement.
Not nice: and yes, I’m appealing it. At least, I’ve put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration, the initial stage of the Appeals process.
Hopefully, that’ll go in my favour. Until I get word about that … ?
I’m getting Hardship Payments, keeping me above the proverbial breadline.
I’m just glad that some better financial times meant I had the chance to spend some of my income on the occasional iTunes card. This means I’ve some (minimal) credit on my account: to rent the occasional movie with.
In my shoes … ?
In my shoes, I don’t call that bad, or good, financial planning.
I call that a morale boost.
