None of this (the cost of living charges) is helped by the fact that my bedroom wall had to be rebuilt last year due to leaks everywhere. But now I have black mould on the walls so can no longer sleep in there, have to sleep on the couch in the front room.
This is not how I envisaged the end of my life! No heating, constant power cuts, and damp!
Oh well.
@ChloePolitiCat That's life, I guess. It's just frustrating when you've tried so hard to stay on top of things. My sickness benefits are also 10% UNDER inflation rate. They're meant to be linked but Gvmt says forget it, we're ignoring that.
