Thankyou

I just want to say thankyou to all those who work and pay taxes, as i have been out of work for a number of months (and its only months) and i say thankyou for the benefits i received during my time of unemployment, obviously you have footed the bill. but from monday i will be paying back and doing the same. thankyou for helping me and me being able to receive benefits so that i still have a home, i mean that sincerely.

my husband is on incapacity through no fault of his own thats another story. ( he had a baby son that died, i wont elobarate)

but thankyou

    Congratulations and good luck with your new job.
  • Good luck on your first day! You'll do great.

    It's nice to see a post like this! I'm glad the benefits were able to help, but I'm glad you were able to help yourself back into the magical world of working.

    :j This is lovely to read - your post suggests a lot of heartache - lets hope this is the new beginning you look for.

    And, as for paying back - and I can see what you mean, but you had nothing that wasn't your right! You are paying back by just being yourself - and you have taken care to notice how things work for those who really need it.

    Good Luck!:T

    It's not paying back, it's paying forward for the next person that needs that help while they get back on their feet.

    Congratulations & all the best for a happy & healthy future for you & your family.
