It's a four letter word beginning with 'f'.........

FORM! 

I spent the first part of the morning weeping/swearing/pulling my hair out and eventually passing out trying to fill in a Disability Living Allowance form for Claire. I've been advised by 'Professionals' that Claire is entitled to apply for an allowance to allow her to access resources and activities that she wouldn't be able to access otherwise.
But they are never going to make it that easy for you.  Over 50 questions, most of which required 'additional information' to support the answers. I ask you, who among us would not baulk at that monstrosity of a form?

I got to question 25 and felt like slitting my wrists.  So I stopped and made a tea and settled into a chair with my book.

I actually nodded off!, I fell asleep!  Oh good God, what has become of me when I meet my match in the shape of a form?? 

Worse still, it was only 11 o'clock!  So now, elevenses mean snack and snooze for me.

A dangerous path to tread.

Spent the afternoon wrestling with my crochet project and have now resorted to YouTube to get lefty support for beginners.  Oh well...
