Hi everyone
Hope you all had a good easter. Has anyone received their payment into their account from RE yet for this month? The reason I ask is that last month I manged to mess up my account number and the payment got returned so I'm hoping that I changed it to the right number this time but can't see anything in my account as yet.

If you mean the "10th April" payments that were sent on the 8th April, then they haven't arrived yet (due to the bank holidays). I suspect they'll arrive on Wednesday.

Thank you
Was beginning to panic that I'd messed up again.

Hello Nads... just wanted to say Hi to a fellow RED! :-)

Nervous about Tuesday but I still believe we can do it!

:T:T:T Good to see another reds fan... I'm trying to sound all confident but by heck I'm so nervous too! It's a big effort and between you and me Chelsea are playing much better than us at the moment. :beer:

Haha love it MysG I'm male, support Liverpool - really would you really want to support anyone else? and yep I used to work in IT until I was made redundant :rotfl: Wait. That's not meant to be funny! Hate IT so maybe it was a blessing in disguise?!

Right Nads your new nom de plume is Scouserit. I will come up with something better later.

Evening everyone. Hope no-one's eaten too many chocolate eggs. I wouldn't mind but my 6 month old have eggs too which means I have to eat them now!! Anyway a bit of news. As some of you know I'm still on maternity leave and not due to go back to work until June. I got a phone call from work 2 weeks ago to say that there is a possibility of me (and 21 others) becoming redundant. However as I am on maternity leave I can postpone any decision until after I come back. I called around a few places to find out what I'd be entitled to and as I've been working for so long I should get Jobseekers Allowance (£60ish a week). My question is though does anyone know how my mystery shopping will effect any payments I get from the government?

This would be great to know - I am in the same position as you Ellie, Due to go back mid May but have no job to go back to. Nothing vacancies of my grade available. Have only just started mystery shopping, didn't really think about how this would affect any benefits but think I am still in 'Head in the Sand' mode about the whole job thing.....

Hi ellie,

Hope you're doing good. I can't really answer that question but you might find https://www.entitled.co.uk useful for figuring things out.

Btw Chelsea marked Gerrard from the space he usually occupies ...no other team has managed that. No Gerrard no Torres.

BTW got a reply from RE today. Said re my pub visit they only ask about a 2nd meal in case I wished to comment on it. Aye right.

So can I ask if you take someone with you do you give them free comments on a 2nd meal. You are a mug if you do. If they want comments on a 2nd meal they can flaming pay for it.

As I said we can get a carvery now for 2 FOR £7. Much better food to boot and not have to answer 103 questions and umpteen comments and a summary.

So RE you better buck up your ideas.
