h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't mind pulling out all the stops etc to hel;p the site through a difficult time with the changeover but i am not going to make myself feel ill because of it. It is not worth it.

Trouble with me is that i don't say anything until i get really narked off. I was the same at work, do my job and my managers job cos she was crap, and waited until i was so pissed off before saying something instead of saying 'no' before.

I have welcomed another one

I dont mind helping through this hard
time but like you said not going to make my self ill/over tierd staying up late becouse there 30 newbies to welcome

Well you know me by now im a speek as i find sort of person if i dont like something or some one ill tell them

I only have to cough or sneeze and legs my buckle. A bit embarassing in the middle of the street!!

After phoning the housing benefit helpline, the nice lady said just send in your letter from the landlord about the rent increase.

Ha!! I thought, i will do more than that. I photocopied everything and then sent them a covering letter saying what i included and why i was sending them the stuff.

**The letter from my landlord.
**A letter saying what dissablility living allowance i am receiving (including dates of entitlement)
**A letter about my incappacity benefet (including dates of entitlement)
**My last housing benefit award letter - just to make sure they knew who i was.

I wrote my HB benefit reference number on all the letters aswell, and made sure that all had a reference to me via national insurance number and name or name and address actually typed as part of the originals, to prove they referred to me.

I thought i had all bases covered, and felt proud of the fact that i had the foresight to add all this info in with the letter from my landlord.

Well the jolly postie has delivered me a letter this morning saying - "please send us proof of income/benefits" If you wish to discuss this, contact Mr H at *** ****. So i phoned the number, only to be transfered to a general enquiries line who have never heard of him. I phoned the council switchboard who gave me another number which redirected me to the same centre, after 20 minutes of listening to a recorded message saying "sorry for the delay, this is due to the high volume of calls, if it is not urgent please call back later" So that ended up being a waste of time.

I give up. I will have to write to them and send the same stuff again (just aswell i photocopied and never sent the originals) and will no doubt receive the same letter again. At which point i won't actually need any Housing Benefit as i will have jumped off the Forth Road bridge.

I am now so wound up, *counts to 100 waiting for the valium to kick in* that i could seriously go down to the office and scream at them. However i would no doubt have to wait for 6 hours for the pleasure in a queue of other cross claimants.

I wonder if i could sue them for causing me mental distress

So, lavender oils, self soothing techniques, mindfulness will be required to calm me down. However first, I am off to the shop to buy a couple of bottles of wine for later (and not the cheap stuff either, just to rebell!)

Deep sigh.

I fell asleep on the sofa and i dreamt about h2g2 - Natalie and Mina were working in my old vet hospital!! They were in the office, and i kept trying to explain to them that everytime you hovered the mouse over someones name it gave all their log in details

Think I should go to bed for a bit

oh i forgot to add, the silly woman at the call centre said to "just ignore the letter if i had sent the stuff in"

Very helpful - NOT, the only way they knew to send me any correspondance was because of the stuff i had sent them, so ignoring it was hardly a constructive piece of advice.

Revenge...

I have just dug out alot of the s**t they have sent me and i am now going to go and get them photocopied and send them the whole ing lot. They want proof - they can have it in triplicate. (they always send the same thing several times - about 2 days apart)

It is worth the £3 it will cost me to get it all copied

14 photocopied pages later...

go mort



There is no point argueing over the phone best is like you revenge send them loads and loads of to dig through they will be sick of it before you
