looking forward…

My solicitor has been asking for the ex (with a hex haha) to hurry up with an actual offer. He did actually make some noises about a land transfer to me the other night – so praying he hurries up with the actual offer to do this. He does want the right to lease the land back off me. Solicitor says I may have to accept this, but I will be only doing one season as his land management practises are not the best…. and he will think he has the right to come and harass me there anytime he likes, and use (trash) all the sheds and all the water and the house…. such a pain..

Got to welfare office….they were honest and said they will send it off to the ‘complicated claims dept’ – all farmers and small business claims go there….I thought they thought farmers were all ‘simple’ haha. All our claims have always been sent off there – you would think the office would be in the country where the real businesses are, not in the city where all the fake workers live…. The fake workers think farming and fishing are ‘complicated’.. haha

They said that when they finally work out that I am not eligable for unemployment assistance because I part own a farm and send me a letter – then I can fill out another form explaining to them that owning a farm does not automatically mean that you are a rich person… All this could take months and months by the sound of it – but I am persevering because my children have to eat and sleep and I cannot guarantee I will have a job soon….

Going to drive 7 hours tomorrow to the city to take Mr9 to have his eyelid surgery the next day. Then drive 7 hours home sometime after that….

May have to do it again next week for the check-up. Or we may fly… have to see if I can get cheap flights…

We have to stay in  a motel – I get a cheap one close to hosp. but it still costs us a lot… there is some help available but as I am a rich farmer, I have not had a lot of success in getting it so far….

Whinging, I know…… looking forward to that ‘date’…. a nice thing to look forward to… enjoying my course still – not enjoying having to miss days this week tho.
