She hasn't seen a penny since the start of January and has no idea when she will see more. She is now in a mountain of debt and goes through awful waves of depression as a result. The latest statement by Sturgeon has almost done her in tbh. She's absolutely heartbroken, not to mention the strain it's put on our relationship. The self employed have been well & truly shafted.
Yeah young lad is a self employed tattoo artist and he is the same has not had a penny.I think if he checked it out better he could get some money from some where but he is adamant he can't get any because has not been self employed for that long.He is kind of lucky though because he can do paintings for people and make some money out of that.Think it is crazy that I get more in a week furlough money than you're wife gets a month.It's all a bit crazy and lot of people just seem to get missed out.
