As well as my laptop coming yesterday, I also had to attend a medical for ESA benefit. I went with a friend, and we were seen half an hour later than my appointment. The letter said to allow 2 hours.

I was up early this morning because the DHL gave me a 9-5 timeframe to pick up the laptop. They came just after 9 and then about 9.30 the door knocked and it someone from the jobcentre!

OK 1st things first, when my doctor gave me the pills to experiment with, he suggested I use them in place of my normal sleeping pills. I’ve been using them for the past few nights, and have woken up as soon as [...]

As a child, when I was bored, restless and therefore quite fidgety, my gran would always say to me, ‘you’re haunted’.
That is perfect description of how I’m feeling at the moment. I’m ready to get my teeth into something, but outside influences mean I cannot, so I’m mentally fidgety.
