Well ive not a lot to say , im still sleeping well over 12 hours a day and getting lots of snide remarks from himself , so yes Covid has given me sleeping sickness as a souvenir im sure it will straighten itself out eventually . Mr Bah Humbugs cronies are all popping round for their check hes still alive visits , though they seem a bit put out that we dont want to go to endless festivals and motown nights , its a bit hard really to explain that we dont drink due to funds and we dont go out due to the cost of fuel . Himself has started fishing for the season so theres bugger all funds extra for anything . We just hit a crap vehicle expenses phase as you do , so 3 months income has gone on them , we are trying to future proof for the move to Universal Credit . The cupboards may be bare but im working on that bit by bit . We just dont want to have to take any government loans towards surviving the Universal Credit uptake . We need to be at least 6 weeks ahead with the rent and council tax at the point they change us over , the way things are going price wise I dont think this is achievable, but hey ho i can try . Im sure everything will go tits up once we go to Universal Credit being as all funds will be paid to him at that point and things wont get paid if he sees something rusty he likes the look of . Ive just got to insist that they pay the rent and council tax direct thats the thing that does concern me . I find it ridiculous that hes classed as head of the household so receives everything and you just cease to exist your his minion , you receive nothing and if your lucky your partner may give you a few crumbs from the table , its all very back to the dark ages . But isnt that the Tory way
I know its different circumstances but- the dearly beloved here spends time in his office-apparently he can sort the expenses better than myself -And I will say his head Used to be better screwed on than mine - but now I'm beginning to wonder-Eg-He has a liking for ordering vegetable seeds online - I suggest buying them in wilko cheaper-as I'm doing my best to cut right back on expenses - oh no he likes the little hand written note the lady slips in with his order x
ReplyDeletei have noticed that its my little luxuries that have gone and nothing of his
DeleteIf you can claim carers allowance that would be paid to you but your other half would have to be getting dla or pip.
ReplyDeletei do currently get carers , that ceases when we change over and will be payed to him
DeleteHi ,according to the DWP website,it could be wrong ,but pip and dla are still paid as a stand alone benifit,when esa is moved to the wretched U/C.Im a full time carer in reciept ofC/A.
ReplyDeleteIlook after my disabled adult son.I sympathise with your
situation.
Sending hugs. Covid is brutal, and it can knock you sideways for a while. I hope that you can take it easy. I think that a lot of people are adjusting to the new normal of price rises and shrinking income.
