girlofpreyIt's my sister's birthday and I went for lunch with my mum and my sister and my sister started being racist about Polish people and I argued with my sister and my sister said this was her birthday I'd been invited to and I was ruining it and I walked out. Fuck my sister.
But - I did go into town and speak to the Jobcentre, and they said that if I actively look for temporary work until my new job starts, I can still get paid, and if I'm still on JSA when the new job starts they can help me out with a train pass and work clothes and stuff. The lady I spoke to didn't know about the tax credits thing, but she said my advisor is a disability expert so she ought to know, and I'm seeing her on Wednesday, so. Anyway, it's nice to have options. Also my mum paid me back another £500 of the money she and dad owe me from my savings, and I went into my local games shop to ask for advice about possibly buying a cheap gaming PC, and it turns out his mum has one that she's basically never used and is looking to sell for about £200, so he's going to call me about the specs and stuff on Sunday. Result.
