    Me - british
    Him- pakistanni
    daughter-british
    sister-british

    live london u.k
    and about my holiday my parents payed for it my sister and my baby went only my husband was staying at my bros ok
    so dont go round makeing stories up thinking 'oh how did they survive'


    right...
    have you checked www.entitledto.com?
    is your husband here legally or illegally? can he work? what are your exact circumstances? are any of you unable to work? and is your sister going to be with you for the forseeable future?

    the bits in red - what you don't seem to understand is that you're being very very rude and as such, nobody is likely to help you. your previous posts have contained so much conflicting information that nobody could possibly give you any accurate advice at all.

    you are very young to be going through all this and it must be really stressful for you...but if you come asking for advice, a)be prepared that it might not be what you want to hear and b)try to give your information accurately and don't change your story every 5 minutes. the majority of people aren't here to judge you and if you are genuinely a 21 year old woman going through all of this, I think a lot of people will be more than willing to try and help - if you are honest.

    Don't rise to it - use the 'report abuse' button to everyone who is nasty to you or posting comments to get a rise ;)

    Just get the help you're entitled to ask for - and don't be put off posting because they really aren't worth it :)
    :cool:

    if you actually read the thread, you will see that several people have asked her for the information needed and she has not responded, or she has to some questions and then been very rude and failed to answer the others. Look through all the other threads - not even a hint of consistency.

    "Just get the help you're entitled to ask for " - if she gave information and didnt decide to change her mind every 10 minutes, she would get help.

    if you will give all the relevant details, and stick to them, i'm sure there will be several people on here who are willing to help you!!!
    maybe it was a typo, maybe not. just tell it how it is and don't keep changing your story!
