The whole system is stacked against those who have done the right thing…i.e worked and contributed all their lives, payed into pensions to provide for their own futures etc…I was refused contribution based JSA because I’m in receipt of 2 small occupational pensions that are nowhere near enough to live on.
You’re encouraged to save to take pressure off the state then they give you fuck all back when it’s needed and fleece you for over a grand a week to lie in a bed all day in a care home.

Yeah I bet that is super tough. When I used to work away that was tough going but that was only a week or two at a time.
In my case, I’m not allowed to be home during the day, pretty much every day. As I currently work just a few miles away it works. I struggle on all sorts of levels working from home.
Can’t be having that. Partner needs talking too; perhaps they need to GTFO of the house during the day sometimes too?
That’s why pubs exist.
She works from home. We’ve set up a hair salon in an extension to the side and to be fair she’s flying. Business is very good.
Me going to out to work suits me better. I’m more than a bit off retiring yet.
Yeah, that might have been an answer a while ago. Not now, I barely drink any alcohol and being honest all the pubs within my immediate area are rubbish. Buses, taxis maybe.
I can see me walking up mountains, surfing, rediscovering photography etc. to be honest. I’ll definitely keep busy.
I could go full hippy and live in the van over weekends etc.
Then you have all the furlough addicts claiming their mental health is at risk because they’ve been asked to do the job they were quite happy doing before Covid
