The Daily Teaser — 6-7-2014

It’s Sunday … 

Isn’t it … ?

Yes, it is.

Which, of course, means it’s the day before Monday: and when I find out whether I’m getting anything from the Hardship Fund.

I’m nervous: and worried.   And angered by how it’s happened.

Something my regular readers will know.

At ANY rate … ?   I’m having a bunch of mixed feelings.

But know I’ve done everything I can to make sure things go in my favour.

It’s in either the lap of the gods … or the Department of Work and Pensions.

I’ll embed these two versions of the newest Dr Who teaser trailers: and have to ask … what on Earth is that voice … ?
