Do you feel lonely?I will be working full time for another 7 years. I work with many very nice people and a handful of nasty people. I am much older than most of my colleagues and management don't deal with the nasty ones. My colleagues regularly go out together clubbing ir for a pub crawl and depending on the organiser sometimes I get invited. I had to move from my rented home of over 30 years when I was evicted just after I started work as although I was entitled to Housing Benefit the local council messed my claim up and I ended up with arrears. I am in a low paid job that I have to travel to but I enjoy it. I moved in with a gentleman friend as I had no where else to go. It turns out that he is a huge alcoholic but he is not violent with it. So I am now quite a distance from my grown up children. I used to live in a friendly neighbourhood where if you needed help with gardening or other chores someone would help. This is a much nicer area to live but there is no neighbourliness, no help with the garden etc unless you pay. I am still on a low wage and struggle to make ends meet! I feel incredibly lonely at times but I do have three wonderful cats and I keep in touch with my children by text and phone. I have attempted to join some of the local community groups but many of these groups are in the daytime when I am working and the weekly fee is prohibitive on a low wage. I am looking forward to getting my free bus pass next year when I turn sixty so will be able to get out and about more.ViewDate:
