Well I've just had what's called a eork focus interview. I'm quite positive now n I'm really glad that I was not put on the support element which means you do not have to attend them.
Eventually I'd like a job or there's no point in completing a bachelor's degree n doing a masters degree.
She gave me these options like there is permitted work. You work up to 16 hours a week, you can claim up to £101. A week for up to a year but it affects council / housing benefit or you can earn up to £20 weekly n can continue with this without it affecting disability benefit or counselling / house tax benefit.
There are also work tasters plus a work experience that is 6 - 8 weeks.
I told her I'd like to volunteer making breakfast for the homeless n she's ok with that, says it won't affect benefit n they actively encourage it. So next meeting which is Thursday, I'll ask to fill in the forms n ask if I can do Tuesday mornings as I do not have to go pharmacy for my suboxone on that date. I now only collect it on Mondays, Wednesdays n Fridays.
I have started exercising like I used to. Stair runs, DVDs etc. i do INSANITY Pure Cardio, Jillian MICHAELS LEVEL 1 + cardio, Debra Siebes, n Ryan Shanaham's (kettleWorx) 10 minute fast fan burn. Ten minutes may not seem a lot but believe me when you're using a kettle doing kettlebell swings, lunges with the KB going under, skier squats (basically squatting n pulsing while keeping in the squat), squat leg swings n kicks, you sweat like nobody's business n I only used a 10Ib kettlebell.
I want to do INSANITY Max Interval Circuit. It's an hour long of max interval training doing things like plyo, side burpees, in n out squat; the lot n it kicks my butt.
I've got some cold going on here buy hey ho that's not the end of the world n NOT an excuse for me to be sitting on my a** feeling sorry for myself. It's a nice day, I've two long things hanging from my body called leg so best get using them haha.
Take care peeps n all the very best,
Evey
