I'm going to make up a new Snooker thread folks , just trying to think up the title .

ClI had to go out to keep those household bill plates spinning but thinking back , shop workers wearing gloves and masks and Government advice to stay 2 meters away from people I thought I've been trying to do that . If your on Welfare and have a condition ask someone you trust to get the bills paid etc as this shutdown could last a long time .

Self Isolation .
Millions if not billions of people around the world are being asked to self isolate and it won't bother me really as I've been doing it for utter years but you may know of people who might not be able to cope or adjust to this new way of life so I'm asking you all to take care of yourselves and your family and friends and look out for them . Not everyone will be able to cope so look out for your close ones and take care !

My youngest son just messaged me to say he went to the local ASDA shop and all the Lager and Beer aisles shelves were empty lol !

Foodbanks .
Here in the UK these places are rife fuelled by the Tory Government so 7 weeks with no money income I found out what sources of help I was entitled to and Foodbanks were top of the list but my new claim for job seekers allowance disqualified me but to keep a roof over my head it had to be done . from a young age I leart it's best to buy a few items more because you just don't know what will happens next and there's a lot more needy people than me that need to use the Foodbank servics so they get my place in the queue .

Welfare .
True story . Once I went into ration mode it was pay a little extra to house bills and it served me well , I was kicked off sickness benefits and had no income for 10 weeks so forced to go to places I didn't want to go to just to get by , eventually put back on sickness benefits but it was my parents who got me through those dark days and nights , eventually kicked off the sickness benefits for 7 weeks with no income but I've already been there so no big deal and it's back to the battery radio days/nights and by the time I found out about Foodbanks it was too late , I reapplied for job seekers allowance and it was either that or nothing .

Welfare .
True story . They gave me a break at first and put me on sickness benefit and at the so called 'Medical' the Dr said your in a disfunctional family and shook his head . all of a sudden pubs and clubs were out of the equation , no chance of playing Snooker/Pool etc and everything was on a ration basis and I was never so grateful for the small battery radio , that was to be my entertainment through the week until the access visits at the weekends , yes it was tough but I'm still here .

Life on welfare .to be the same again
From the day my divorce lawyer said are you sure you want to do this I said yes , it is the correct thing to do under the circumstances but before I sign these papers , what happens if.....You will never be able to afford to work or declare a partner etc , where do I sign . Hold up your hand and say I swear so I did and life was never , Twenty two years later I'm still here !

Sasha the dog .
Sasha is still here , nobody knows how old she is , all depends what one of the children's versions are , my eldest daughter said she was around 16 when her Mum got Sasha as a pup so that would make Sasha around 18 years old in human years if so . Sasha stopped the throw the ball in the park a few years ago one night the fireworks were set off and I noticed she doesn't try to run for it now so she could be going deaf . You know the way a dog jumps up excited to go out ? Sasha stopped that sometime last year so no rush to go out and when out she stops and stares into nothing so I though maybe she's going blind . Sasha knows where the dog food bowl , mixer bowl and water bowl is alright so she's not done yet . Still life left in the old dog yet as they say !

The ex wife .
As soon as I agreed to take Sasha the dog off her hands she took a job as a Carer , bit of a set up really but the story goes if I didn't take Sasha in she was getting put into the Cat and Dog home and I wasn't having that . No idea what the ex wife will be doing now , none of my business now .

My two sons work as Carers so my youngest son said he should be safe for now and did a 120 hour shift last week so his job includes paid sleepovers so that's the reason for the 120 hour shift . My eldest son , not heard from him for a while so no idea . My youngest daughter does hr Carer on a part time basis but now she's lost her part time bar work , no idea what happens there so yeah very grim .

My eldest daughter worked for Hays Travel but got laid off so has to go through the process but I heard the local job centre shut down because of Corona Virus so no idea what will happen there . My youngest daughter worked part time in a bar but they shut down as soon as PM Boris 'Bonkers' Johnson asked for pubs . clubs etc to shut down so yeah , very grim !
