Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th September 2024.

26th September, 2024.

Right … it’s now Thursday.

And … ?

I have a tribunal to attend, today: to see if I’m eligible for any extra financial help.

I’m a little nervous about it.

But hoping it goes my way: the extra help would be very useful.

We’ll have to see if I’ve wasted my time, later.
