Understandable! Get well soon (unless self induced due to over indulgence!).

I felt like shit on Monday and had to go home early from work after resembling an extra from The Waking Dead , another virus sweeping the country because of the comparatively mild weather

not that it's absolutely any of your business but i do work.......however i am treated as low income.......housing benefit doesn't cover all my rent just a portion of it to help me out

I said nothing to warrant that reaction. I suggested rather nicely, that maybe someone on here might have advice about some work, that's hardly invasive of your f***ing business!

TL-where in the above post is he/she being judgmental or anything but helpful? You have put people right on here about housing benefit, but it was a reasonable assumption to assume you were out of work.

Or do you/NMH have history?

Apparently we do now!
You are of course right, it would be a reasonable assumption and I was trying to be helpful.

Next weeks pension has been paid tonight so would assume Housing Benefit will also be paid.

yep......i read it as a post written in your usual tone........you must be having a scrooge moment, apologies and thanks for the advice

That's NSC for you. Simple question and an instant binfest. Class.

It must be almost impossible to get a job at this time of year, when you are out of work. The new year ought to pick up a bit though.

What are you good at, maybe someone on NSC can give you a pointer?

Christmas is rich with opportunitys if one has the drive to do a little searching
