Well, the house looks like it's Christmas, dangly ball window is up, we squeezed in a tree, house smells of cinnamon apple loaf, and giant hash brown!
But amongst my friends there's not much spirit left.
One friend is reliant on her daughters wages to be able to eat. Merry Christmas!
One has been waiting 13 weeks with no money for his disability to be sorted. He has no food in cupboards, no leccy in the meter. Making him cakes every week. Joy to the world.
Another friends partner just left her in so much debt she can't afford food. Jingle all the way.
And so it's hard to believe what the politicians keep telling us. Economy getting better, people better off, what a joke.
We went to the village craft fair this morning, didn't buy anything, mainly because everything I saw I could make! And I don't really have the pennies to spend on tat. No order for tomorrow again. It's dead.

It is when you know of people in that position that the state of the economy shows. Something must be really wrong somewhere in the system for your disabled friend. Can't they get a note for the food bank? It can come via a doctor, Health workers, social services, CAB and the police.
ReplyDeleteHe's too proud, was without a fridge for months till his dad found him one. I send him home with veg but as he points out, takes electric to cook it. He fought for queen and country, this is how he's repaid! Sickening!
