Swimming is a great exercise, sadly my heart function is not high enough for me to do it according to my cardiac community nurse..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

My dad had a council garage, but upon his death it has to go back to them, they will not let me take it over as their policy is spouse or partner.


So now as parking is poor, I'll end up having to park so far from my home I'll have to get a cab home.

Get some traffic cones outside your house and wear one of those hi vis yellow vests. You'll get away with anything with one of those, not just parking.

Some years ago, a couple of colleagues cut down some trees in Leeds city centre and got away with it by wearing some Hi Vis jackets.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

The DWP are peeing me off they only car what money I have and not what i'm getting in and paying out, as it stands I'm paying out £200+ more than the UC give me.


I cant reduce my out going, well I guess I could just not buy food.


I spoke to a guy on Friday and spewed out a list of items, none of which I had, when it came to out going he didn't care as it wasn't in his script.


He said speak to my job coach so see what I can claim, the JC said it online, but its impossible to find the right form as I don't rent or have a mortgage, I'm living in my dad's house.

Citizens Advice - they might give you more impartial/useful advice than the DWP.

Cola bottles with non-detachable tops. Really nasty but the kitchen scissors effect a simple conversion.

I know what you mean, I have exactly the same problem with bottles of fresh orange juice from Tesco, they're a pain in the ass to drink out of when attached and harder to screw back on. I also use the kitchen scissors to fix the problem.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

You must be using them wrong, lol. I have no issues with them. Lid always folds back and stays whilst drinking and easy to put back on. Though Pepsi bottles still haven't started using them yet.

Twist the top 180 degrees after opening. It stays attached but moves it out of the way.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

Lower back playing up. Been bad for a couple of weeks now and feels worse today than it has to date. Getting pretty fed up of it now, and we're off work this week which is even more frustrating. Struggled to put my socks on this morning.

I don't get this, why do people have to walk down the road holding their phone in front of their faces, and have speaker on so that I can hear there conversation.

---------- Post added at 10:35 ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 ----------

The DWP is royally peeing me off.

They only care what money I have and don't care I'm paying out over £200 more than I'm getting in.

They they say our mistake means we gave you £252 too much and we are taking it back, so now £250+ worse off.

If I made their mistakes in previous jobs I'd be sacked.
