I wanna be lost in space.
So, not even 24 hours and my mums smoking again. My dad gave her a pack at 4am this morning cos she couldn't sleep without a cigarette - strange how she's been sleeping fine the last 5 weeks without one.
I've been turned down for my OU financial support this year. I said I was self-employed for 2 months - when your delivering for Thompsons or any of the other leaflet distribution places you're considered self-employed even though your pay comes from them. I didn't make enough to pay tax on it and because I was on Job Seekers at the time - and declaring the hours I worked - they adjusted my NI payments accordingly so I have no paperwork except my payslips, but the Financial Support office cannot process my claim without a letter from my accountant... My Accountant! I earned £250 total in the two months I was 'self-employed' who the hell hires an accountant for that? I should have just kept my mouth shut about working.
Worse is that I sent my application in over a month ago and yet they send it back with 4 days to rectify the problem. They even say at the bottom of the letter that I probably won't have time to get the financial aid now but I can pay for my course in another way if I like... If I could pay for my course in another way I wouldn't be fucking asking for financial support in the first place!
And no, this isn't the start of the nicotine deprived rants, I'm just angry and fed up STILL in pain and I slept for 11 hours and feel like a zombie and I have to go out in 3 hours and I can't think of anything I feel less like doing than going to the pub right now (which in itself proves something ain't right!) and Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Don't listen to what they say: Honesty is not the best policy. Honesty will screw you over every single time it can.
