Might stop for a drive-through Costa and sit in the car drinking it, along with others (Costa have missed a trick here, they should set up a big TV).
Feel sorry for my mates who have kids though.
Miss the odd pint with mates and a curry with my lad.
about it and that can wait given what's happening to others.

I miss having an income and being able to pay my bills. Having to survive on ever dwindling life savings.
Excluded UK - Thanks Rishi.

Having been made redundant at the end of 2018 I had started out doing freelance web stuff mid 2019. The vast majority of my work was via a single marketing agency. They did have other freelancers but over time I became the main point of contact for them. Obviously the pandemic has impacted on them which has had a knock on effect for me. I had only done a couple of jobs for my own clients as I was looking to build up a portfolio. Therefore the timing was terrible for me as I don't get anything from the Govt - not even Universal Credit. Applied for loads of jobs for all types of work and barely get a reply. Managed to grab a seasonal job at Amazon for 15 hours per week but expect that to end in the next week or two now that Christmas has ended. Unfortunately I find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time - bitter pill to swallow after paying tax for 33 years and now I am in need I am ignored.
