@EssexPR Ego on tap 🤦🏻‍♀️

@RobertJenrick @brexitblog_info And single/widowed people too please! Living alone is expensive! 🙏

@PaulDooley17 @EssexPR Thanks, I’ll get there. Unfortunately we didn’t have children together so I’m not entitled to Bereavement Support Payment 😐. £3k would’ve been insanely helpful! Never mind. Things can only get better! 🤞 My partner was a successful writer and he taught me so much ✍️ ❤️

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

@PaulDooley17 @EssexPR Thank you so much. Our dog passed 4m later. Had to rely on family to help with sudden vet bills 😔. Trying to get back on my feet as best I can. It’s expensive running a house on your own and my p/t wages drop soon. But hey ho, one just has to plod on! Writing saves my life! 👩🏻‍💻

@JeffHolland07 @DAThetford @dadsarmysociety @DadsArmyFans Brilliant! 👏 I remember chatting to the lovely Jeff in the Marigold Tearooms at Thetford with Penny Croft, Jack Lane, David Benson, and my late partner Nigel present. Will he be getting a medal or a kiss? 🥇 😙

@ClaireCoutinho CHILDLESS people pay tax too. And, in my case, my partner’s died and I’m now trying to run a house alone, and struggling in bad health from caring for him. I pay my taxes, I’m entitled to ZERO state help, despite a very modest income. Please don’t forget those like me!!!

We are not angry enough.

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

@antoniabance Thanks for replying. I’m in contact but it seems unlikely I’ll qualify for anything. I get that families need help, but there are so many people on their own who need help, only bringing one low wage in, but still have a house to run. It’s more expensive living on your own!! 😔

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

@EssexPR P.S. I was his sole carer for years and my health has been affected. Two bereavements close together, a low income (just don’t have the energy for full-time atm), and yet people like me get nowt. I feel chucked in the gutter!!!

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

@EssexPR Lost my partner from a terminal illness last Feb & our dog 4 months later. We’d lived together 7yrs BUT didn’t have kids together—and cuz of this I don’t qualify for ANY govt bereavement support (c.£3k)! Money now so tight 😔 . Many childless others in this position. So unfair!

@dunstablian Agree. Especially for those of us that don’t have any!

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

My life: Nigel died 6/2/2025; Biddy 🐾 died 15/6/2025 (Father’s Day ❤️). I was with Nigel (& Bid) to the end—his sole carer. I keep writing—it honours him ✍️ #SilentWitness was Nigel’s & the title has a double meaning to us—something only we 2 understand. Miss you both 🙏 #bbc

@EssexPR @Nigel_Farage @LeeAndersonMP_ @ZiaYusufUK @SarahForRuncorn @danny__kruger @SuellaBraverman @RobertJenrick @AndrewRosindell Signed ✍️. It’s time to get tough and this is a good start.

@IsabelOakeshott @TiceRichard That’s wonderful. Well done to Richard 👏

[1979LITTLEMISS @LittleMiss1979]

@bobbillco A wonderful man. I still have almost 100 letters in my Dad’s Army collection that Bill wrote to me over c.15 years. A true gentleman.
