Unfortunately there are various complications (that I'd rather not go into here) which basically mean we can't get any support - me in particular, because I'm apparently perfectly healthy and capable of looking for work and not at all disabled, according to the DWP...We're just scraping by foodwise, partly due to help from family and friends and partly due to my habit, when James did have work, of stocking up just in case; we're mostly living on homemade wholemeal bread, as we bought a 32kg sack of flour a few months ago. James has become master of the just-before-closing supermarket loitering, when the chickens are reduced to affordable levels, and I can make a chicken stretch for four or five meals. I'm gaining a lot of weight because of all the carbs, but there's nothing I can do about that. As for everything else, well. I'm just glad my dad's helped us keep the electricity on and the council off our back for another few weeks.
