In less than 40 days, it’ll be Christmas… Daughter and I have been through so much, all on our own. 6 long months with birthdays in May, wedding anniversary in June. Projects in July/August that went undone and then engagement anniversary in September followed by what would have been son’s 32nd birthday…
We’ve cleared the clutter that we’d hoped to do so, that’s a plus. Finally today, after trying 5+ charities, we’ve found one that’ll be picking up hubby’s clothing.
No bereavement counseling, no one to talk with daily except me and daughter… That’s been tough! So apps like Skype, WhatsApp and the likes, have been signed out of and uninstalled. There’s no way to brighten the days when you see your notes going unanswered. It’s a moral killer.
Out of tears and fears, we’ve decided that we’ll go ahead and get the decorations up. Hubby wanted it after our son died in early 2017 and we feel hubby now would love to know we’re not wallowing in despair at the Holidays.
A few things have improved. We’ve managed to save money so there’s a wee cushion of safety for emergencies. However, the postal strike has caused havoc’s on important correspondence. Bummer!
Finally, after 3 solid years of harassments and in the midst of an energy crisis, we’re now finding that the previous tenant’s account was never closed before we moved in and we’re receiving “Polite Reminders” that this person’s bill hasn’t been paid and that apparently it’s our responsibility as new tenant to pay that person’s debt.
Frankly, since when? To begin with, we’ve been paying both Gas/Electricity with our long-term provider but what we’ve found out is that in the database, there’s our address in twice.
So, I’ve got to find people who can fix this, but found that this extra energy company (via online reputable site) is a pain to deal with. Ombudsman expect us to wait another 8 weeks after over 3 long years, seriously?
Well, on benefits and trying to make ends meet is difficult enough without having to pay someone’s else bills
If you’ve anything to suggests, I’d appreciate some urgent help. Thanks…
