5th February, 2021.
Ha!
It’s a Friday: which means I’ll be having fish and home made chips, tonight.
After I’ve been up town for another dental Hygeniest appointment.
Yes: I’m getting shinier teeth, a bit at a time!

Hmmm …
There’s a possibility I may not have gotten the job*.
There’s been a possible problem with my references.
Partly, I suspect, because the deadline was late last night: a bit too tight.
Partly, because I’ve not update the contact details for a while: it’s been a while since I’ve needed to.
Partly … ?
Well, LORD knows!
But … ?
If anyone wants to volunteer to be a reference, I’d love to hear from you … !

JUST as a thought … ?
You’ve realised I’m job hunting!
And on Universal Credit: receiving twenty pounds extra a week, as a result of an increase caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The increase is due to be withdrawn in April: which is something many are complaining about.
Many are also complaining about the proposed replacements.
Which, so far, have included a five hundred pound one off payment: and a one thousand pound one off payment.
I think these are nice ideas.
But the cash itself?
As I know from my own experience, the cash would last five minutes.
The £20 extra a week? Would cost only a little more, per person: and would make life far more manageable, long term.
Surprisingly?
Pleasantly surprisingly?
Therese Coffey, MP, the current minister in charge of the Department of Work and Pensions, the department that administers Universal Credit?
Agrees: telling MPs that a “steady sum of money,” is her department’s preferred approach.
Personally?
I’m glad to hear one government minister sees sense.
