    Why do you keep bumping the thread?

    people are still making posts in it so it goes to the top when they do so there is no need.

    I must be the only person along with you that isnt entitled to free engergy saving light bulbs the fact I work means I pay for everything and I end up with less money after that than the people who stay at home all day on benefits in a house that is paid for by benefits. I do have energy saving bulbs installed in a bid to try and save a little money and I paid for the bloody bulbs too. the rich get poorer and the lazy benefit earner top up their tans in the garden and get rich becasue they dont want to work.

    I'll trade you my degenerative spinal arthritis with you anytime you want, I got that free from hard graft most of my life and my house is privately owned and paid for outright since the 70s. I would love nothing more than to throw the little money I get to survive on, back at the people that make me regret ever being in the condition I'm in day in day out. Some people really don't know how good they've got it. I'm on the most basic of income support with the most basic band of health benefit. I don't get anything else, no help of any kind and I bloody well don't want it, no matter how much my family and I have contributed to the system over the years. What other health needs I have I buy myself or family buy for me. Please don't whine about stuff you really have no minute idea of. :(

    The 25% discount? If so, then no.

    you could give them a call and they would let you know if you qualify for any other promotions/ grants that might be on :D

    Thats a shockin thing to say. I work damn hard for 30hrs a week and through no fault of my own, I am a single parent. Like you, Im not entitled to very much because of my job and earnings, but thank God I can work because things would be worse if I didnt. The people I know on benefits who dont work, are unhappy, and hugely restricted. Its no life, and many of those cant work through no fault of their own. C'mon....PEACE and LIGHT!?!?!?!?:A
    This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. (SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet, 1600) :kisses2:
