March 27th: Five days into pub job justifying why she can’t manage to do pub job
Gosh it's enough to remind me why I left work in the first place... I started the morning phoning childcare centres in reasonable distance to see if they had any places available for a 2 year old b...

April 24th: They call her smiler but she needs to LEFT the pub! (has spent lots of time hanging with THE COUNCIL, writing letters to THE NEWSPAPER and many, many pompous blog posts over the past month)
So, I've been at the pub for a month now. In that month, I haven't been able to provide the three months of payslips that the Council want in order to process my Housing Benefit claim. I've also wo...

I’m reluctant to use the term ‘living in the public eye’ because I’m not about to seal any deals with Hello magazine just yet, but when your blog gets in excess of 16,000 hits and strangers come up...

May 17th: She’s UNEMPLOYED, in POVERTY, her child is STARVING, but she’s had
an audience with Ed Miliband (spoiler: she has not, she was just at an event he was at) and has HIS RIGHT HAND MAN’S BUSINESS CARD and FRIENDS ON THE LOCAL COUNCIL
A hand up, not a hand out, as a friend of mine commented earlier today. So good, I am tempted to make it my tagline on my blog. It’s a perfect summary of my current position. All I ever wanted, and...
