What Made You Want To Swear Today?

[Nystagmite]

Hospitals / people not doing their job properly. Never mind that this man is an old man who is seriously ill. The least they could do is make his last year of life as easy for him as they can.

I am fuming , I now understand why some people do not want a job! As most of you know I started work after 2 years of being unemployed in August this year, well I did all the right things, IE informed Job Centre and of course as I was getting some housing benefit and help with Council tax they had to be told as well, now I explained all this to the job centre and was told not to worry as you get 4 weeks grace? I also understood they helped you get back to work as am sure they used to give you £100? Well lo and behold the benefit has been suspended! I have to take wage slips in but they only give you so long to do this otherwise it is stopped altogether.Yesterday my HA officer asked me for over £400 rent arrears which I was not told about, we have been paying bedroom tax as nobody told us otherwise, I do not have this sort of money, I am only getting £200 a week at the moment as am on a probation period and my tax is sky high as only just got my P45 from job centre. I somehow wish I had stayed on the dole!

Sorry if this is in wrong place and over long

So much fluff and fuss about Syria, not that it's not worthy, but what about the chemical warfare that's dished out daily by the denial of drugs and treatment to patients in the Western World to save lives or any part of the world? I don't see summits about what's inhumane in that and why Governments can pick and choose who lives and who dies according to wealth and status. The lucky ones die quickly without being a burden. Just saying...Rant over..

The pressure in my head. Urgh. Just hope the doctor will actually do something this time. Paracetamol and ibuprofen do nothing for it.

Received a letter today from HMRC giving details of amended tax credit awards. Letter dated August 2011 for period 04/2011 to 05/2012. Is the letter very late or do they not want to give me details of this years award until 2015.

This. It has to be the worse case of animal cruelty I have ever heard of.

Can't stop crying.

I am disgusted at this, R.I.P Puppy now running free at Rainbow Bridge

I am not even going to click on that.

Where can I buy a Billy Goat to get rid of the Troll that appears in the work and social forum?

[sillygirl1]

I know the troll you mean, has been reported to the site team several times.

 

The local council made me swear again today, they CANNOT do simple sums, let alone write in clear grammatical English.

[ajax95]

My local council made me swear today, I put in a simple request, did everything they asked and I find out that six weeks later they haven't even looked at it

[sillygirl1]

Local councils seem to be run on 'template' systems at the moment (I suspect they have a large influx of 'apprentices' on board to train) and anything which needs a proper reply can't be immediately dealt with.

 

They are also suffering from the 'left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing' and 'joined up writing' seems to be a talent they do not possess!

 

As for the troll problem on here - it is now half-term and a lot of bored people around. Maybe they are suffering from boredom. I still love the immortal line in the 'Elf' film 'trolls were not house-trained!'

[DogManDave]

...and it's absed on some warped stereotype.... I have a GNVQ in ICT for christ sake.

 

Spell chucker is a grate reesorce me thinks

[Nystagmite]

oops!

 

I blame the medication...

[sillygirl1]

Yet another troll - plus my shower being on the blink (landlord coming round tonight to look at it) and me not being able to have a proper bath - can't get out of one if I am lying down because I can't put weight on my right arm!

 

Think it is going to be one of those days...

[Nystagmite]

Not looking forward to possibly having to increase my medication dosage. Really hate the side effects.

[sillygirl1]

Two side effects with one of my tablets, it makes me very forgetful and even more talkative than usual!

[Nystagmite]

One of mine is dry mouth.

 

I've been on it for a week and have to take it in the evening. Took it at 6 last week and was falling asleep by 9.30.

 

The side effects are so much better than having too much pressure in my head, though. (which is why I'm on it)

Firefox has gone strange for some reason so having to resort to using IE which not keen on, seems chrome is not good with windows 8?

[sillygirl1]

I noticed that too Bobcat2, if you open it and then leave it open and just close the individual tabs it works a bit better. There was an upgrade the other day which seems to have screwed it up.

 

Going to see the council this morning and find out exactly why they think I had a housing benefit overpayment when they now have identified an underpayment for the same week.... they cannot do their sums nor link dates properly.

 

Noddle also seemed unable to properly identify me so I've asked them for the problem and pointed out that I can verify my address via council tax records (it may be that I have opted out of the edited council tax register and this is the one they use).

[snowdragon]

thanks SG, tried everything even un-stalling and do a reinstall but deff screwed up! lol if it is not broken why fix it?
