Things are moving fast again and it's hard for the 'boffins' to keep up with all the changes, never mind us plebs. (And be especially wary of what politicians say).

You may notice that I'm re-organising (and rewriting some of) my "UC Migration" thread.

I'm only leaving the house for shopping, and getting my meds once a month.

Unless they close the shops and go to some kind of rationing I don't see how any further restrictions could affect me...

Whoever led you to believe that the benefits system is fair? (Oh yeah, the government).

Yes I'm testing first, same tray full of water test to make sure it freezes, but having just cleaned while still running it's cold in there.
And yes the door was closed properly, I'm always careful...

And now we enter the Twilight Zone, but with an explanation.

Almost 2 hours after taking the partially defrosted food out of the freezer, there is now a small puddle of water on the floor under it...

I'ts probably going to be a while, at least a few weeks, before I can get a new/replacement freezer, 10 years of living on £100 a week WRAG doesn't give you much lying about for emergency purchases....
