Sal, don't they back pay from the date of application like centrelink do (sometimes)? That sucks so much. The centrelink lady I saw was really nice and very helpful. She had a look on a payment table to give me an estimate on how much of PPS I can get, and it looks like if I earn $700 gross a fortnight, I get the full PPS payment. Which is really good, as I will be getting about $600 net a fortnight, so that bit of money will really help. So the ball is rolling...

I decided to sleep on the sofa bed from now on. Being in the bed with Terry just made me feel sad and as I try to sleep I can't as the weight of stress washes over me. So I'm off to unfold the sofa and go to bed. Got my first day of work tomorrow!

Goodnight ladies xxxxxx
