This morning I went into town because my phone battery I bought the other day was wrong. It was okay though; they had the right one in.

So I went to my Jobseeker's interview and it seems to have gone okay. In fact, somewhat bizarrely, I'm claiming for this week and I'm not even round. All I have to do is look at jobcentreplus a couple of times. This is on my Jobseeker's aggreement slip:

I can appreciate that this might be helpful, but it's a little underwhelming. I struggled against a smirk when I read that. They should probably have started with something more dramatic, like "You can expect us to pawn our personal belongings to cater for your whims."

And then I got back and started to pack.
