i have waiting since the 26 July 2025 Imagine Dragons concert, when my tickets were sold. Your resolution system sucks! I made enquiries in August, September, October, November - every time the same answer: "Our current estimated resolution time is 30 to 45 days"😠👎🏾

Tired of the mess, Inside / Outside IR35 / state of the job market. Have a chat about it with us? Sort of "Spaces" X / "Scaminar" (anti job search Scam Webinar portmanteau) I think it will be.

Another sleepless night £0.00 income for October 2025. F!

2025-10-28

Well here’s to another day of sweet F.A.

I M not feeling it. Last night we had a big fight. A big argument. I am really down. I don’t want go home. I want to run away. I feeling like letting go. This November might be my last November. I just want a turn around / rebound sooner. I can’t be another Schumacher star fazit who is out of work for more than 2 years. I literally have 1 month of real funds left. F this!

What if I run of money completely ? How do we survive? How do I explain this to family?

These are some of my bleak thoughts this morning

My mood is very dark and gloom. I am not dealing with this change very well. I can see why many people just give up.

The End of the Month for the second time of the year we have yet another British Banking technical failure.
Lloyds Bank and Halifax apps went down on Friday morning, according to thousands of user reports to platform outage monitor Downdetector. For the lay-person, Lloyds Bank, Halifax, TSB and the older Bank of Scotland (HBOS) are all under legal entities under the Lloyds Banking Group umbrella. If an failure of infrastructure, systems and applicatins takes place under TSB, then it certainly means the rest of the group under the umbrella will be affected, and so it has proven, once again.

Commenters believe this is the aging mainframe and "bridging" architecture that is at fault. They do not believe in nefarious cyber attack or other outside attackers. Nor is likely to be deliberate compromise.

This is my first opinon writing piece for such a long time. I felt it was high time to get my nifty fingers active literally again, producing content over endlessly consuming it.
