January has been the Januaryiest of Januarys.
It being a five-week month means my assessment period for UC gets messed up, as I’m paid twice in the assessment period. This makes it look as if I earn double what I actually do. Because, God forbid, the government should rectify this issue in their beloved Universal Credit for those it affects.
Having a December birthday for my child also means January is a struggle, paying back credit cards and loans.
It just seems never ending at the moment, doom and gloom all around.
