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 !
If you haven't got a sense of humour now is the time to get one . It got me through all sorts of crisis point through my life and this video from the other night still makes me laugh !
