Good, glad you noticed. I was on disability benefit for just over 6 months because I was depressed. I'm sure many people would simply categorise that as being lazy, especially as my issues with alcohol exacerbated the problem. Not only did I get paid for being off work, most of my rent was paid and I got free counselling. Would I have swapped the (barely liveable) benefits to be well and back at work? Hell yes. I'm now working thanks to the free anti-depressants and counselling I received at the time.
But then I'm a socialist European so feel free to ignore me
My goals. Same old same old:
In May I am determined to sort my life out.
- Put a proper timetable in so I can go to the gym, work at the pub and here (EEA).
- Make time for my boys.
- Back on a healthy diet - also saves money.
- Start saving a regular monthly amount to come to the States.
- Reach agreement with ALL my creditors or go bankrupt (I prefer the former, they may not accept how much I can afford to pay).
- Only drink Sundays & Mondays (pub days/ eves).
- Lose weight almost as a consequence of all the rest!
- Be marvellous
