    We are not talking about same ex who was into all manner of stalking craziness earlier this year :eek::eek::eek:

    In which case you are way way too fabulous for him.

    I got sent a funny email recently, mostly they are full of nonsense and not actually funny but this said something like: 'you have some numbers in your phone, so that you know not to pick up'


    Yep, that's the Drama Freak we mean :rolleyes: & you're so right about that email; I did actually delete his number from my phone way back but for some uncanny reason I recently put it back in as I'd forgotten it & as you say may have inadvertently picked up if he called :eek:

    So glad you had fun at carnival & would love to do some dance mob type stuff, did take part in flash mob once but that was a protest so not much fun really :rolleyes:

    Oh I was meant to put my funny story in my diary but I didn't and it's not even funny anymore but I'll tell ya's now I've said it...

    When I stopped getting Child Maintenance payments I thought I'd apply for Council Tax benefit, I don't receive any so didn't see any harm in trying... Anyways the council tax forms are the same as the Housing Benefits so I I put in for them both although didn't expect any HB as I already got it..still..no harm in trying!
    So on Saturday I got the letter off them I've been waiting for, opened it all excited to see what if anything I'd be getting and it turns out I owe them £28 overpayment :rotfl:
    I suppose it wouldn't be funny if it was more than that but it didn't half make me giggle, I must be the only person that's £55 down a week and ends up having to pay out more :rotfl:

    The benefits system never ceases to amaze me :confused: it's a minefield :eek:

    That reminds me of the time I did my first freelance Self Employed Tax Return, I was convinced I was gonna get a massive rebate and ended up having pay out £30 :rolleyes:

    What's the latest on your child maint claim? Any progress or is there nothing that can be done?
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    It's one of those you have to laugh or you'll cry situations isn't it :rotfl: I'm just glad it comes out of my benefit rather than me having to pay it out.

    As for my child maintenance palaver I have closed my case and have to wait 13 weeks till I can open my next one on the new law. I'm just not getting my hopes up coz they're so useless. I've worked out I should get about £33 pw if I start getting it again which would be fantastic but I'll not hold my breath !

    Hmmmm, I had a similar thing happen with my rent last year. I queried one of their calculations & then it turned out I had to pay more. This year however, I did get money off for the 2 weeks unpaid holiday ... what's the betting I end up paying it back again at some point before next April :rotfl:


    Good luck with your claim ;)
