This has been quite entertaining but its going nowhere now so could some kind person please tell me how to delete or stop this thread?
Thankyou and good day
Well if your going down the police station then so shall I. You are a shining example on how to own up to your crimes. Apparently, according to avinabacca i'm 'A liar, a fraudster, not particularly switched-on - and now vindictive to boot.'
If this is the case then I will get the chair for sure :rotfl:

After reading all the way through this thread, which was quite entertaining!!, i still can't believe somebody out there aspires to have a council house!! Can't you find a better dream?.
My husband and i work hard and will never expect handouts and i will never want them, have a bit of pride in yourself!!
Council housing is there for the needy (disabled/illness/elderly etc) not for everyone who wants it!!0 -
Thanks Grimbo Green, my post was actually replying to someone else who said that all of us on this thread have been nasty to you, which I felt I had to refute.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

AHH I want you SingleSue, you seem like a very hard honest woman who just wants the best out of life, for her and her family, I have been having alot of job knockbacks as well, due to being sick people think I am a liability which is totally not true, I'd give you a chance.
Awww, I am really feeling the love now....I have been accepted by others!:T :rotfl: . Fancy joining our newly formed band of misfits clique? It's only me and mishmash at the moment but you are very welcome. :TWe made it!

hehe just read your bit about lying for car insurance ... im afraid im another one of the ones that hasnt .... with two claims in my life time so far for written off cars (not my fault) ... id rather not take the risk of them not paying out .... my way of saving money was to go for the best quote and then haggle some rather than risk the whole thing be voided
Lying to the insurance company has to be a dumb as lying to the council to get a place .... risking so much for so little ... its just not worth it ... no car replacement ... booted out and no help when you are actually in need if it becomes the case
(and dont they have the milage on the new MOT certifacates ... if so not hard to figure out milage roughly ...)Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

I haven't dismissed any of the advice given but I can't be bothered to go into all my personal details as to why some of the advice isnt suitable. So can people (no not you single sue) please stop making assumptions that I am not prepared to help myself.
Sorry you ruled out higher ed until your kid goes to nursery because you cant drive (unless your now going to embilish that)
People repeatedly said your current landlord should legally have to fix your flat ... you said you asked he said no and that was it (though hopefully you took on the advice to ask as CAB about it)
'Totally Broke/Skint' (who cares what your correct name is) - I never actually recieved your email reply because you are on my ignore list - sorry, better luck next time! and actually I do not know 'MoneyMiser' but I will thank him/her for his responses.
For information to anyone interested (im sure they are not) my PM to 'totallyannoying' was not abusive I just told him/her that she is very bitter and out of order for insulting my baby! and taking things too far.
Lmao reduced to abusing names now ... well atleast you havent had a go at my spelling i guess
To be honest my sister did start this whole argument up again and kind of made things worse for me !! but her posts made me laugh, so who cares
And for the last time she IS my sister I have not lied about this. (oh here comes the nit picking quote referring to my original question!)
Hmmmm i still think your sister starts her threads off very strangly to defend you - read like she was trying to act like she didnt know you at all
Infact I actually haven't lied once in this whole thread - how ironic that im probably one of the most honest people here!!!
Maybe but only thanks to the people in this thread ... it wasnt until a few pages ago you said you werent going to lie .... and you did actually earn a bit of respect for that
Also someone on page 14 or 15 had the cheek to slag me off and then went on to defend druggies and said "we have all tried drugs at one point in our lives"
Oh so thats ok then but if you dare even think about exagerating the truth on a form you are total scum??
That will be me (logged on at my sisters house - and yes shes a real sister and i can promise you wont see another post from her again - and i certainly wont be lame enough to thank her :rotfl:)
Nope i wasnt defending druggies ... but im not saying you being finacially stable deserve a house more than them like you are (and im not saying they dont - imo everyone should have a house)
and lol at you and your exagerating ... you keep trying that line every few days .... you were on about lying before not exagerating ... no point playing miss innocent unless youve gone back and edited your posts (and that might not be a bad idea for you)
Now I could be here all day answering the comments which are untrue or wrong but I dont have the time or energy.
Hehe i still remeber you laughing at the thought you had managed to waste our days with this this thread and being happy about it ... and your still posting in this like the rest of us
Im off to my local police station now to hand myself in and to confess to contemplating telling a lie :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:! I hope they lock me up and throw away the key, no actually the electric chair is more suitable for my 'crime' I think.
Wasted trip ... a couple of days ago you said you werent going to lie .... though if your not going to lie i would not do the above ... they will probably inform the council and you will have no chance at getting a place as they will think once a liar ...
(Im sure if they do give you the electric chair you will be in the que behind all the people you moaned about though so dont worry)
This has been quite entertaining but its going nowhere now so could some kind person please tell me how to delete or stop this thread?
Thankyou and good day
Think you have to use a report button or pm one of the board guides ... they can atleast lock this junk and forward it on to someone who has the power to delete it
edit
and just for the record ive never spoke in a thread with any of the other posters in this thread before as far as im aware so forget the clicky thing .... the first time i saw this thread was my first time in this section of the forum .... the only reason i even posted was because i was shocked that so few people were standing up to say you were wrong for saying you were going to lie to get a place
The reasons for it spiralling is not totally your fault though .... the people that have come to your defence have made it worse making excuses from illegal immigrants and legal ones to now lying about car insurance ... i wonder what that says about them defending you and the fact you were thinking (though not going to now) lying??
I guess if the ones trying to be honest are clicky, i guess that must mean the ones with erm dodgy views on life are being clicky with you?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
