Me: My flat is a mess, it's so chaotic, I don't have any space for my stuff, I'm so stressed with all the clutter, I really need to put stuff away and declutter Also me: Oooh, cute new mushie just popped up today! What a good candidate for my first ever attempt at a spore print!

I just can't fucking comprehend it. Usually he'd stay in the back garden, but the fence fell over and we were waiting for it to be repaired. She was going to cat proof the garden so they'd be safe and this exact thing wouldn't happen.

I'm devastated. He didn't even usually leave the back garden, and the one time he did, this happens. Our beautiful ginger boy. We all loved him to pieces.

Has anyone on UC ever actually spoken with the Jobcentre staff and had a good experience? Like I'm thinking that I WOULD like support around employability and perhaps eventually finding a job, but I'm paranoid as fuck about it coming from the DWP for *Very Obvious Reasons*
Message from UC journal reading: 
"Would you like to have a chat about how I can help you?

We can talk about how I can support you. And we can identify things you can do to help you take the next steps – but only when you’re ready to.

For example, we can talk about:

- developing your skills

- building your confidence

- the things that matter to you

- potential options for the future

This chat is voluntary for you. It will not cause us to re-assess your capability for work. The amount of Universal Credit you receive will not change.

If you want to know more, please reply to this journal message. I will arrange to contact you at a convenient time.

Krumble and I are at my grans flat. I opened the window because I'm too warm, Krumble starts hissing and growling. I think she's just mad because I won't let her jump out the window (she is often mad when I thwart her escape attempts) but then I look outside... Yeah, fair enough girlie

Have been doing some FIT counts while the weather has been nice. Highly recommend getting involved if you're interested in nature. You basically select a patch of flowers and sit back and see how many insects visit in 10 minutes! And there's an app! Here's all the info ukpoms.org.uk/fit-counts
