Looks a very do-able target, although I have to take into account ticket costs for November as well, which will probably be around £400. I won't add to the target until I know for sure though.

This total will change again soon, as tickets for the Champion of Champions are out on Monday. They are likely to cost around £400, as we are doing VIP on one day (although someone is kindly buying us VIP tickets for another day - very grateful to them!). Watch this space!

Leapforce?

 

[Miss Pear]

Leapforce?

I was with Leapforce for a while but found I couldn't do as much work with them as they wanted me to (although I had another job at the time). Might try re-enrolling

 

[Queen]

Get re-registering - its a great job to have

 

[Miss Pear]

I will get back onto them when I can, after some business at the beginning of next week

A big blow recently is that I have lost my DLA, and have not been awarded PIP in its place. I am currently in the process of appealing, but it will affect my income in a big way. To be honest, I don't use much (in fact hardly any) of my benefit to cover these trips, as I like to have "earned" it, but it will mean my financial situation will worsen over the next few months if my appeal is not successful. Quite worried about how I will earn any money now, especially as no-one seems to want to give me part-time work either. I've tried, but I get to interview, and whether I disclose my health conditions or not, I am always turned down, leaving me baffled as to why. I will try and get onto Leapforce again but I am not sure how you get back onto it after you have been excluded. Feeling very down

 

[katykicker]

Sorry to hear that you've had a hard time, the appeals process can be lengthy from what I hear, however, if you win they do backdate everything. Best of luck with it

 

[clairecc]

Oh dear, good luck with the appeal and hope it gets sorted quickly for you.

 

[Miss Pear]

Thanks for your support ladies - I'm currently at the "mandatory reconsideration" phase, which will probably amount to nothing. However, I'm ready with notes for a written appeal (I'm classed as a vulnerable adult and probably couldn't go to a tribunal), so we shall see!

Anyway, I come with another £3 from Pinecone! Plus £11.07 in change...

The total per day I need to earn is going up, not down, sadly. However, I have recently looked in my Top Cashback account and found a delicious £171 in there ready for withdrawal! Have put in a request and should receive it shortly - that will help no end! What do you recommend - put it all towards the fund, or take a little for myself as well?

 

[Miss Pear]

£5.20 in change, plus my Top Cashback money came through and I've decided to take £150 from the £171 for the fund!
