Perhaps it continues: ... got job .... told blonde ... down the showroom at midnight to fantastise about which car he'd get .... spots a shiny motor in the forecourt .... cheeky wink, nod and giggling ..... next morning sacked for CCTV footage.

Aww.. I'm sowwy. It's all real stuff as it happens, trouble is I should have started the blog over two months earlier. I can't turn the clock back and that's why I'm writing the blog daily not weekly (which I will do just as soon as I catch up with myself).

To be honest we're only a week or two behind now, I reckon by the end of this week it'll be "live" as it happens stuff.

But you get help with council tax, housing plus for the children you get child tax credits and child benefit.

At the end of the day I feel that £60 is too low for one person to live on. However a couple on £90 is still not enough, why not £120?

I can understand the views of some who see families much better of on welfare than single ppl. But the reality is the the child payments are not much more than a single person, IE each child gets about £60 a week, which it does cost to keep.

I recently worked out how much my daughter costs, I get something like £270 a month to care for her and dividing houing costs, food, clothing her gym class (the only luxary she gets) and so on. To break even it is a struggle. But I guess thats what welfare is about, enough to exsist on to keep those in need on the outside edge of a capatilist society, until they are useful, needed and times are better.
