Evening all!

I have been catching up on all of the chat for the past few hours whilst watching Corrie and American Idol. OH is out tonight so I have to go and pick him up around midnight. Wouldn't normally mind, but he is in another city and I have no idea where I am going, and I am constantly shattered and would rather be in bed! Also Mrs Tine, I beat you - I am 32 and will be 33 when I have my first! Definitely feel like I am playing catch up!

Hope everyone is doing ok and things get better for those with stuff going on.

Mel I usually only keep stuff for a year why should the ownus (sp?) be on us to prove we are innocent ?!?! :mad:

I couldn't stop laughing at the Gordon thing that sheffieldish chef swore even more than Gordon!

EXACTLY - although I have had a row with dh over this, as he seems to think I should have kept everything forever!!! well i'd like to see him file the bloody stuff away and keep it safe, considering we have also moved house about 6 times in as many years!!!!!!!

Just had a reply off one, really nice, person so far... Just highlights mistakes I have made, like not keeping letters for more than a year or so etc.....

Although the whole situation has been caused by the council anyway, they have lost info I have given them and are now blaming me!!!!!!!I hate them so much If I owned a gun........

:eek: Omg, mel, don't say things like that.

First of I used to work for a bank and have seen lots of people in similar situations (I had a look at your posts) and you must, must use the CAB, they are fantastic in these cases. Secondly, we had a £1200 overpayment 6 years ago on a different benefit which we paid back but I also went to our MP. He was amazing. He left he meeting promising to look into it and then we heard nothing but got a letter after a few weeks stating that they were happy to accept us paying it back as it was their error and they accepted that I had kept them up to date with our circumstances, as I was sure I had! I then had an email from his office checking that I had heard from the relevant dept. and that I was happy with the outcome.

Don't get angry, get even. Get your hubbys education, then he'll get an amazing job and you'll never have to fill in a claim form again. Like us.;)

Thanks Tara - This is exactly what we are trying to do, I have only 1 more course after this one (if I mange to complete this one with all the stress) And I will have my degree and then I am going to do a PGCE....By this time dh will be completing his degree too....We don't want to receive benefits (as i'm sure most don't) but at the moment we have no choice. We both come from unprivaliged and broken households, both of us grew up with an alcoholic parent!!!! etc etc...I could go on with the sob story , but I don't want to.... We just want to become qualified and have careers, whilst raising our kids...and hoefully show them the importance of a good education.

I will also leave this country and never look back, this government are not gong to get a penny of any taxes from me........

Sorry for the rant! Thank You, for your kind words.

I have a feeling I might have to retrain for something else in the near future. I work for the large high street bank that was bought over by the other high street bank ( can you guess who it is yet???? );)

As I specialise in mortgages and we are doing little to no business, then I may not have a very secure job for too much longer, and with my OH off on incapacity for the last 4 years due to chrons disease, I have no option but to work full time:mad:

We were going to emigrate, I have issues with my upbringing and have no parents to stay for, but OH got an excellent promotion so our standard of living changed dramatically. We then moved here as it was the way the towns and cities were going that concerned me with my kids. Living here is a bit like living in a bubble, we watch the news but it's like it's happening a million miles away. Can I ask what degree you are doing?
