I guess Matt and I will have to break up then.

Because I can't afford for us to live together.

I just wasted 2 hours of my life for Centerlink to tell me that I'm expected to live on nothing because I sleep in the same bed with someone who has "too much" income for me to elligible for anything. Congratulations to the government for giving some couples reason to break up.

Thank God I have some savings left. And I hope I get that zoo job and that my knee is good enough to start it right away. Or at least if I can find a mundane office job in the near future.

If I had no savings I guess I'd have to learn Jesus' trick with the loaves and fishes.

that is retarded and depressing all at the same time, but centrelink has let me down so often that it's also somewhat unsurprising. :( :( :(

have you thought about setting up a second room (do you have one?) with a bed and say that you're not together? that might not work though now, but still, it might be worth a shot.

i'm sorry this has happened though. centrestink is such a depressing organisation. it doesn't really 'help' at all.
