My degree was Ba Hon in English Lit, .I got a 2.1 (in principal, until confirmed) but thankfully Im good at exams and apparently write good responses.

However you appear to be more illiterate than a truck driver. It's "principle", deary, not "principal".

No technically I dont have a degree

So why did you say you do? Either you do or you don't, there is no inbetween.

Money made from moving house is not income that has to be declared (their loophole not mine) especially as the majority of profit goes on going up the ladder, MONEY TO RENOVATE THE NEXT ONE or off the mortgage and not into my back pocket, what goes into my account is maybe £1,000-2000 which is below my personal allowance anyway and wouldnt make any diff to tax cred.

Irrelevent. It's still taxable income and still has to be declared. I wonder what HMRC would make of this. Do you have accounts for your company?

Looking at all the history of posts from the op posted here I am pretty gobsmacked really-but lately whenever anyone says anything you are called judgemental and bashed for it. I commented on another part of the site that stealing off a doorstep was wrong,whatever the circumstances and that I am bringing my children up to know that ALL stealing and lies are wrong-no white lies etc-and was slated and had the bible quoted at me. I just have a problem with lies-my ex lied to me constantly for 6 years so I suppose I am oversensetive!

EdinbughLass, there is nothing wrong with engineering your circumstances to make it more profitable, another poster on here only today, based on the discussion has decided to go self-employed thus technically 'engineering her circumstances',

If you are refering to me,I think this thread has left such a bad taste in my mouth I shall be looking into the actual legality of this before I even carry on considering it. From what I have now read it looks as though you weren't actually working at all-and in the past have been declared as working for your lawyer mother when in fact you weren't. I had actually intended DOING the treatments,not just claiming I was running a complimentary therapy business in order to manipulate the benefit system or engineer my circumstances.I don't have the thick skin or ability to 'tell white lies' in order to manipulate or exploit the system I'm afraid. I expect you will feel I am an idiot,but we all have to live by our own conscience-and I couldn't live with that. As someone who has mentioned they have a faith in the past I am surprised that you don't have any pangs of conscience when sitting down to talk to your God.
Pity of it is,you are obviously a very bright self motivated and hard working woman and don't really need to cheat the system to do well-it would have just taken you that little bit longer.

You would proably do the same as many other self emplyed fathers in the UK - deprive their kids of money they need by pretending they barely earn anything, and your current wife must be a very unkind woman to allow you to do it.

I know, my dad was self employed Landlord of a pub and apparently never earnt more than £50 a week for 20 years because the pub was 'a duffer' (I saw the till roll on a Friday and he'd sold £3,000 of beer in one night but everyone pays for beer in cash!) His partner had a high flying job as a Director and she told CSA she had to support him from her wage cos he was so poor.

Sickens me, while they were going to South Africa, Cruises, Australia....3-4 times a year my brother and I couldn't even go on school trips because my mum couldn'ty afford the £4 ticket fee and was too proud to ask school to pay for it. Had no carpets, no clotehs, no shoes...cos he was paying £6 a week for two kids (when between them they were actually bringing in close to £100,000 a year)

Legally, you can do what you're going to do, and get away with it, but don't think for one minute your kids mother wont know what you've done and don't be suprised if your kids grow up thinking your a bawastard like I do my Dad

So Missk can lie about money,earnings etc etc etc but judges her father for doing the same. What is so different about how your father manipulated and exploited the system that you can judge him when you refuse to be judged yourself? May your son-just maybe-dissaprove of the 'white lies' etc when he grows up and judge you as you judge your own father? Your mother also lies-about accidents to get awards,about you working for her etc-it doesn't sound as though you have had the best role models and perhaps you may consider being a more honest role model for your son to break the cycle.

Come on Conor - one spelling mistake doesn't make a person illiterate.

Does it?
(It's irrelevant.....)
Pretty much like this message I know.

Holy S h 1 t
Is this still going?
I am absolutly gobsmacked, not at the thread but at the fact there are idiots out there who truely believe swindling the systems (all of them by the looks of it) is ok, that they have a right too!

I have vasovagal syncopy, have had umpteen million tests inluding blood, ecg's and tilt tables, from the ages of 17-24 i coud not drive, you are not allowed to drive for a year after the last unexplained full faint, can you imagine how long it took me to pass my test??

After minor surgery and some new meds its completly cured, i suggest you stop wallowing about and become a fully functioning member of society you never know you might like it.

.

It does when it is a completely different word, such as writing "there house" instead of "their house".
