Day 2 of this rain. I went as far as the wheely bin in the garden but never bothered to get dressed. Not much point putting on clean clothes to sit in the house.

Lots of flooding shown on social media. Feeling the loneliness today.

Nobody has made contact with me. I could try first contact with someone else, but I feel stuck for what to say without depressing them. Radiator downstairs is not heating up. It's constant repairs in this house. Can hear drips of rain come down the chimney. I am grateful for the reward for the extra I provided for this project. I only went and messed up wanting to spend it online.

I missed alerter out on my email. I filled in online form for help from love to shop and hope to hear soon.

I googled how to raise extra money. There are apps to do surveys and watch adverts for pennies. It's frustrating as I have no motivation. Feel spaced out and drowsy on these meds. Sitting waiting for HMRC to send a letter for tax credits to stop, to make a claim for U.C is anxiety provoking. Do they give you notice of a date?

I really enjoyed so far in this project which is friendly, empathetic and sincere for the peoples who involved in this project. We shared our stories, listened each other stories, respect other's opinion which make this group successful. This is a place where I had opportunity to share my feelings freely without boundaries. Lastly, the remuneration for the time I spent is well enough to support me in this living cost crisis.

I really enjoy being part of changing realities. It gives me a great sense of being seen and heard when in other places I go I can feel invisible. I am being bullied really badly in one of my jobs at the moment and attending the online events is really helping me with this has I feel welcomed and treated really well. I feel I can openly share my experience of living in poverty and not feel judged. Also the vouchers we receive have been a god send has I can go and buy a nice meal with them. I would have had to go a day or so without a meal a few days before my pay day. I enjoy getting involved in activities I normally wouldn't try. It is a great project to be involved in and to meet people from all over the country on there.

This is the first half term that we haven't received a voucher from school, which was continued during the pandemic. Children are at home and then obviously spending will be more. We have to provide food to children by cutting down all other recreation like outings, eating out or buying clothes etc. WORRIED.
