I am pleased to say that I actually got my benefits money quickly and with no fuss today, I was dreading it but it went smoothly, it always makes me shake and feel lightheaded when I go to sort it out, but it was ok, I had a milky coffee to celebrate.
I will be going shopping for thermals and toiletries and other clothes soon, and later I will get a Bed and Breakfast room for the night, ideally I can get the room this afternoon and have a hot shower, which is much needed in this weather, and a few hours sleep before I go to help with quiz night and have a nice chilli meal.
