Somewhere in English small town suburbia, an Uber bendy, somewhat scatty, single 30 something girl blogs about her take on life, love, and vague attempts to make sense of the nonsensical. Regular features include the highs and lows of the NHS, stupidity of the benefits system, multiple joint dislocations, men, and stupid accidents. Lots of stupid accidents! Life with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
Being severly affected by Ehlers Danlos Syndrome means I don’t work and rely on state benefits, hence the name for my blog, and inspiration behind it.
Benefitscroungingscum came from the popular opinion that people on state benefits are all work shy scroungers. I wanted to write about the true day to day reality of life for someone claiming state benefits.
About four months in all, but only seriously for two months. It seems like less time than that though, which is a sign that I’m enjoying it!
At the moment about 9 or 10 people per day. I’m honestly amazed anyone would read my ramblings so I’m really excited and pleased by every person that visits, even more so by the comments.
No, my blog doesn’t have an income, I wouldn’t know where to start!
I’d hope all kinds of people would be interested in benefitscroungingscum, that’s sort of the point of the blog. I wanted to show by the way I try to live and things I write about that disability is just another part of every day life, with usually the biggest challenges not coming from an individual’s personal circumstances but the world around them, or other’s attitudes. It sounds so cliched, but I really believe the only way to change things is to talk, or in this case write about them, openly, honestly and hopefully amusingly, and that way people can see that whatever the disability, it’s just a part of what makes that person whole, and very quickly becomes something you’ll only occasionally notice, like say their blue eyes.
I don’t even want to think about that! So much I’m worried my laptop may melt, eek!
Y’know…feel sorry for the bendy cripple girl an’ all 
Goodness…probably to take advice from a better blogger than me

Her wit is wicked. I have eds and her dentist appointment is accurate to the point of making me think she was me! She’s not but us bendy bods are so alike we just don’t realise it as gp’s and often consultants don’t take us seriously. Hidden disabilites are the hardest some days.

Refreshingly direct and different…sometimes sidesplittingly funny, sometimes appallingly sad … but always compellingly readable

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I’m with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
