However,as I say. ranting is wasted energy.
My friends and family (and God?) will see me through. I just need to do my bit and tackle the nasty stuff. I know you will all help me so all will be well.

Like I said I'm not against the benefits system at all and I think providing a safety net for people is great - what annoys me is when some people are better off on benefits (by the time you've got income support, WTC etc) than they are working full time - single childless people always end up supporting this which I think is unfair...but I dont think it would ever be fair to be honest however you did it...

Borders are supposed to be better and I think the pay is a bit more...
