CHANGES ....

Well this past month has been rather stressfull to say the least , lots of stuff going on all out of my control ....ive not been able to sew , the outfits below were made before all the stress , the doctor even gave me a sick note for a month due to stress and anxiety ...then the next saga was universal credit deemed me as not being gainfully self employed as i dont earn minimum wage per hour ....so i have to prove to them im spending every waking hour looking for full time employment , plus i needed to attend sessions on how to grow the buisness and provide buisness plans and projected figures !!! ....i just like sewing , im definiately not buisness minded and dont even know half of what they were on about ....sooo by this time my head felt like it was going to explode , the simplest thing for me to do was go back to the hotel and waitress part time , so then they wont be harrasing me so much...ive read lots online about how badly they treat self employed people trying to make a living , they very much seem penalised by the new system ...anyway for the next few weeks im working loads in the hotel to cover for a friend thats poorly but soon i'll be part time (at least thats the plan) and i should be able to sew again , not loads but hopefully at the end of each month , theyll be outfits , either on here or ebay ....the only good to come out of all this is that ive lost some weight :) plus im getting excersise , hadnt realised how unfit id got untill i woke up after my first day back feeling like id been stamped on all over !!! ....anyway keep an eye out for new clothes but it wont be for a while yet xxxx

  1. Sounds like a right nightmare Sarah, I hope you can eventually get back to doing what you want to do without all the stress. These things seem to be set up to penalise the honest ones as well as those really not capable of filling in the immensely complicated forms and benefit those who know how to rip off the system.

    1. lorraine its all just been totally frustrating, everything at the min is in the hands of completely useless office workers , who are like robots that tick boxes but if you dont fit into their box , they just decide to tick the one that goes against you ...and then because of all that ive got to go with universal credit and thats a whole new can of worms that doesnt favour self employed ...anyway ive got over being in a state about everything and now im ready to stand up to them and theyre stupid decisions and im willing to take it to a tribunal ....grrr ....xxx
