Christmas was a lengthy sigh. The grandkids were spoilt rotten and behaved like Harvey price on visit day but there mother PCR 'ed there noses in 2020 so she reaps what she sows 😋🕺
"If you’d like to get your moth-eaten wallet out and show me the money (you tight cunt), press this big red button now."
Lol ... if only I could afford to! Sat here in a coat, dressing gown and gloves under a heated throw which is literally keeping me alive. It is 7* in here ...
The Department of Wankers and Prostitutes are fining me £50 and want £112 back because I neglected to tell the bastards that my very small private pension had increased by £7 a month, and I forgot because I was grieving my recently deceased daughter.
On top of that, the fucking Council have sent me a Financial Assessment form in order that they can calculate my 'care contribution'. I'm disabled after being royally fucked by the NHS over the last 20 years. I have a carer come in every day for 45 minutes to help me wash and dress - not that I can manage to do that daily as it's too fucking cold! They want to see 6 months worth of bank statements, (they have the temerity to assume that I have a printer, paper and enough ink to print them off), so that they can see what I spend my pittance on. Well it's not bloody heating! They'll be able to see it's not alcohol, luxury holidays (any holidays even), take aways, going out, haircuts, clothes or even much food. I don't even have a functioning toilet that I can access, nor a working oven, and they care not one jot! Social Workers aren't people who 'care' now, they are accountants. They will then see that I am a 20 a day smoker, so I expect they will tell me to stop that so that I can pay them for my care - it's the only damned pleasure I have left so they can fuck right off! I'm not even going to respond until they fulfil their statutory duty to me by letting me see and sign off the 18 month overdue care assessment they did on me in June.
I should get my last Cost of Living Payment in the next few weeks, so should there be any spare I will send it in your direction ...
I've had dealings with social services and DWP. Box ticking, money grabbing, lying, lazy bastards, springs to mind. I always thought these people were there to help - not help themselves. The good ones, in my experience, are stepped on by management if they get too helpful. The whole culture is one of self importance and power. Good luck Rachel.
Thank you lovely! I do try and keep my pecker up, but in the last few weeks I've become absolutely sick of fighting for everything ...
Never mind, something to look forward to - surgery number 25 could well be on the horizon. IF I can actually get an ambulance, and IF I can actually get into A&E in my local hellhole and IF they actually listen to me rather than leave me screaming in agony without sufficient analgesia for 8 hours like they did in 2020 (I fell and blacked out with the pain, and they lied about it afterwards, saying that there 'were no falls recorded in the department that day'); and IF they haven't slapped a DNR on me because I'm now over 60, and IF they actually decide to operate rather than leave it so long that my bowel dies and perforates giving me sepsis, then I might be lucky to see the next sunrise - but I'm not holding my breath! To be honest with you I'm not that bothered either way, but would rather not have the pain with it!
I'm sorry about your mum, bloody jobsworths,. These companies are just in it for the money they can fleece off people - like you, it's the bloody injustice of it that I cant stand ...
Sorry I missed this! Don't have it on all the time ...
I am already ON a synthetic opioid that is 100 x stronger than Morphine, (FENTANYL) which I also have 'just in case'. I'm so addicted to prescription medication. Every time I get a new symptom from my 25 health problems, I'm given an extra tablet! Never have I been offered anything to try and make me feel better, just more & more meds.
I've been depressed for many years since my health started to decline, but since the death of my daughter it has been far, far worse, and had it not being that my mum was still alive at 88, I may have followed my daughter as this is purely an existence, not a life. My GP was concerned and insisted I attend the surgery as he was very worried about me, and referred me to the MH Nurse, who took 6 months to call me. In May, I asked him again for a MH referral and he gave me a number to call. I had a telephone assessment and had to answer 2 questionaire, the forst for depression, the second for anxiety. Scores of 10 & 8 respectively indicate 'that further treatment may be beneficial;. I scored 21/2 & 18/21 and was discharged for being too complex!
Back to the GP to ask for a referral. He looked very sheepish as he told me that he 'wasn't ALLOWED to refer me until he had given me more medication (now 29 every night) and I had contacted MIND. I emailed MIND, and getting help costs £30 a session, £30 I do not have! I could go down the cheaper route by going in person to places 30/40 miles away; places I cannot access myself because of my depression and anxiety!!
What a joy to put the radio back on after so long. Both you and Sonia were fab . Missed parts due to having to do the morning walk but fabulous way to start the day. Well done and see you tomorrow. Lx
Yup I did mean the BB 90s comparison as a compliment. I recorded that show every day and watched it when I got home from sixth form. I confess, back then I wanted to be Chris Evan’s and go into radio to end up on the big breakfast. In some sense I think BB has imprinted itself in my psyche. We have a big house that is filled with people and meetings and happenings.
So glad you’re back Abi. I whooped with joy last night when I saw your podcast was back on the airwaves 🥳Delighted to hear you’re doing a show on TNT - they’re lucky to have you. I’ve been listening to TNT for a long time because of my fellow South African, Jerm. The thought of listening to your dulcet tones twice a day fills me with great joy 🤩😘🤗
Great TNT show this morning Abi, you certainly came fast out of the blocks! Both your callers made good points, the guy from Oz and Laura.
Btw you are nothing like Benny Hill🤷♀️It’s going to be a challenge to keep your language in check on TNT😂
The festive period for me is best forgotten although I did consume a lot of alcohol to get me through.
I’ve met David Kurten, he is a lovely guy but I cannot see the Heritage Party having any impact without the amalgamation of all the smaller parties.
Great to have you back Abs and I loved your TNT show this morning.
You did great and James was a great guest.
👏👏👏💖💖💖
It's great seeing you on TNT. You are a natural fit. They should be chuffed.
Abi you can say, 'Standby caller' in your Irish accent now, for real! :)
Christmas was a lengthy sigh. The grandkids were spoilt rotten and behaved like Harvey price on visit day but there mother PCR 'ed there noses in 2020 so she reaps what she sows 😋🕺
'Harvey Price on visit day' and PCR'd their noses'! That gave me a good old belly laugh, thank you!
🤦🏼♀️
Love the tnt show Abster will deffo call in! Didnt manage this morning but will tomorrow. You were made to do your own show you are a natural
Thanks Alison! Really appreciate your kind words of support ❤️

Oh God no Rachel! Nobody is obliged to pay anything at all if they can’t afford it. There’s no paywall. Hope you enjoy the pods. 🙏
Oh good to see you here Rachel ! Rachel ‘s Mum Aunty Pat is my godmother xx

It seems to be the way once yo reach 60 these days. Unless your loaded that is. Ask for stronger pain medication, nay fucking Demand it 😞

Great to have you back Abi.I'll try and get the TNT show too...Haven't had radio on for 4yrs.I suppose it's a digital channel...?❤️🤔
So glad you’re back Abi. I whooped with joy last night when I saw your podcast was back on the airwaves 🥳Delighted to hear you’re doing a show on TNT - they’re lucky to have you.

Stuart Little's cousins are in my walls. Sometimes they come out from under my washer, or kitchen sink. Jerks.
I'd get a cat but that wouldn't be fair to said cat. Mice are in the walls and I have parrots.
Wow Linda lol
Welcome back Abi you have been very missed x ❤️
Oh Abi how I’ve missed you 😩 congratulations on your slot on TNT can’t wait to listen x
