The Daily Teaser — 11-7-2014: The Copper-coloured top

Well … That’s THAT finished with.

Did I tell you I’ve been on a Fresh Start Course, for the past couple of weeks?   It’s something that’s been organised by the Job Centre, I should add.

And something I suspect has been make-work.

But, at ANY rate … ?

At any rate, it’s finished: a day early, too.

And I have to say, I don’t know how much use it’s been: but it HAS got me out of the house, and meeting different people.

Here’s to seeing what happens next.

The Daily Teaser — 10-7-2014: Wyndham’s Babies …

You know, you can TELL it’s a Thursday, can’t you … ?

Well, I can.

Mostly by looking at my computer’s screen.

There’s a time and date display on the left hand side of the menu-bar.

Ahem … !

At any rate, it’s Thursday: which means I’m one day away from finishing the Fresh Start course I’m on.

Here’s hoping something positive comes of that!

~≈Ô≈~

Actually, as it’s Thursday — and for no other reason than it is Thursday — would you mind doing me a favour, please … ?

Would you mind going to this page — that’s my newly introduced Money page — and hitting the Share buttons?

I’d be really grateful … !

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser

Well, that’s Day 8 of the Fresh Start Course done.

And …?

Well, so far, it’s going a lot better than either the Work Programme I attended for two years.

And a LOT better than the Mandatory Work Placement I was put on, which — frankly — was a complete disaster.

~≈Ù≈~

At ANY rate … ?

At any rate, it’s getting me out of the house in the mornings.   And, while it may not lead to anything definite, it’s introducing me to people, and it’s taught me how to make an origami butterfly.

Not REALLY useful, then … 

But not as bad as things could be …

The Daily Teaser — 9-7-2014

Well, things are calming down at the mo.

Well, I SAY calming down.

The finances aren’t perfect.   Very FAR from perfect.

But at least I know I’m due money from the Hardship Fund, until such time as my Job-seeker’s Allowance restarts.

The job hunting’s going … just.

The Fresh Start course I’m on … is actually quite fun, to be frank: it’s getting me out of the house and meeting people, if nothing else!

So … ?

My point is that I’m coasting, at the mo, until the Mandatory Reconsideration comes in.   Hopefully, that’ll go my way.

But I still find it both angering and annoying that I’m in the boots I am, through no fault of my own.

The Daily Teaser — 8-7-2014: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Another morning, another day.

And, yes: I’m waiting for money to turn up.

As you may or may not know, I’ve received a sanction on my benefits: for some I feel was beyond my control, and something I’m appealing against.

I’ve ALSO had news about my Hardship fund application.

I’m due 60 percent of my usual benefit … Starting a fortnight from now.

’Til then … ?

Lord knows what I’m supposed to do.

Ho-hum!
