This isn't a don't worry reply.

But, but but....

There are an awful lot of variables in your post, things might be like this or they might not or they not not be anything like any conception you have of stuff that is to come. You just don't know. Personally I'd be utterly. utterly amazed if all the the things you write about happen as you think they are goin to happen.

So good for you to be plannin in a sensiable way for stuff in the future but just bet it don't turn out like you think it will. Lifes just like that!

Try not to worry too much about what is to come. Prob be alright, after all.

This *is* a don't worry reply.

I would rather worry about my future income than overeat/drink/have meaningless stranger sex in order to dampen my feelings. I think it's a reasonable thing to worry about, especially considering how loud the politicians and media are about benefit reform and cost-cutting.

It is highly likely that I will face problems with my benefits in future. That isn't the same as saying that it is a certainty.

Ok, so future income is your main worry and lots of the other stuff seam to flow from this IMO.

Couple of thoughts.

People do adjust to changes in income, I know I have, no not good I know but it can be done and dose happen. People/Me do go on do get by and things even sometimes change for the better to.

The Tory do talk tough on this kind of stuff, to pander to The Daily Mail brigade but when it actually comes to it for all sorts of reasons, like they don't want an extra million long term unemployed on the dole who've just come off the sick. No politician in their right mind would want that. So in reality it COULD be tough talk but not too much actual action, don't forget it's a Coalition gov as well. So might not be the end thou. of course I can see how not knowing is a worry. You have had probs. with beaucracy and benefits in the pass and you have delt with them, done it before do it again!

Watch the Budget tomorrow ?

I've been uncomfortably aggressive all day, so I'm not going to answer this comment properly.

I'd rather saw my right foot off that watch the Budget.

See you Weds when we can talk about other stuff.
