Loopy - halfway through this thread I thought as you did about the driving. I wondered how the OP was allowed to drive a car to her skating sessions, when she could black out at any time - either alone in the car, or whilst doing a tripple toeloop - either way it would be extremely dangerous so I fear as do many others, that there is something that does not add up here. How much money does the OP actually have coming in? I mean, she doesn't do any of the renovation work herself but can afford to pay others to do it for her which is extremely expensive - based on her nil income and only benefits on which to pay her mortgage, I feel that this doesn't add up either. We just had our hallway redecorated and in labour costs alone it cost over 1k plus the materials - God knows what it would cost to do up a whole house - many times over.

I doubt very much it is houses (plural)

There's been one thread about fireplaces, one about a kitchen etc. People who 'do up houses' and only make a 'grand or 2' profit on each one tend to buy the same kind of houses and the same bathrooms, kitchens, fireplaces etc for each one.

Plus I very much doubt that her fraudulently gained self cert mortgage is that portable - the more times you change the house, the more times your details are checked.

It's more likely that she's done up her house, I'd say. Using her student loan, access to study money, benefits, maintenance and god knows what other money she's scammed.

Now, just tell your daughter that she only needs to read the first and last 10 pages of every book, and then look on Wikipedia for the rest and she's got herself a degree too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

awwww please don't rubbish my daughters results-she is so thrilled,worked fliipin hard and I really don't theink and English and Spanish law degree can be that easy,no matter what the press are saying about A'levels etc being too easy now.

She was interviewed for local paper and had her photo taken with the college principal,she got A in her English too and got 100% for several modules of her Spanish,History and English exams.
Now I can stop worrying about exam results and start worrying about her going away to college out of my sight!

If you'd read the OP's previous posts you'd see that she is very well off because of the way she lies and manipulates the system. She seems to have been getting HE funding, disability benefits, taxcredits etc. This may be a load of codswallop but if she exists, she's certainly not poor!

But she still has to pay the mortgage - and if she has lied about her income, she won't be able to afford all that she says she does. I like the skating which costs a fortune according to her - eating into her income not leaving much behind for other essentials and house renovations.

Sorry Suzi I wasn't rubbishing it AT ALL - she's done AMAZINGLY WELL :beer:

I was referring to the statement made by MissK that that's all it takes to get a degree.

I know very well that it isn't

Your daughter is certainly going places. You shoulf be exceptionally proud of her

I expect she's working on a way round that one!

If you agree, is it just that the "thanks" button underneath my post is broken?

It's really starting to annoy me at the moment. I know you're not the only one but you've happily let me thank you on a few threads this week without any thanks for my bothering to reply to you.

It's like some people think they're time and opinion is more worthwhile than mine. No need to thank the little people so long as they're thanking you.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Its not obligatory to hit the thanks button ~ if it bothers you that much you seriously need to get out more!

Thanks, yeah I guess £22,000 isnt a tiny amount but after tax has been docked out, and they've paid £800 a month rent, and council tax etc etc etc, they have absolutely no money left. She's currently relying on friends to look after her son, but has been let down quite a few times thus has not turned up on her placement or into work, and has been given warnings for her absences.

I know school starts 2nd Sep, but the first 4 weeks the children are only there 1-3pm, which is even harder than if they weren't in at all because it means friends have to drop off, collect...faff about rather than just look after her son for her. I know thye situation as my son starts as well, but thankfully I recently started my own business and so working 40 hours a week on £0 income they give me a decent amount in tax credits, plus I have the flexibility to look after my son, and help friends with theirs.

I finished uni this summer and was at first planning on getting an employed graduate position, but as a single parent with no family, wou;d have had to use all 4 weeks annual leave in September and God knows where that would have left me for Xmas/Easter/the following summer....

This the problem with tax credits - no account is taken on how much rent you have to pay. My SIL owns her house outright, gets maintenance (which isn't taken into account) and works 16 hours per week and gets £200 per week TCs alone. We pay £575 rent per month and get £17 per week TC (which we are grateful for I must add) but she is much better off than us.
