    The one where I work hard for everything I have. He also has two ex girlfriends with three kids (his), both ex's have houses provided and are both on benefits, and he pays nothing towards them.

    So in my view having enough money for even one night buying beer is living it up!
    You seem to know a lot about his business.

    Is there some reason for this ?

    Things do happen, people have accidents.

    One of the golden rules of life is don't cause people trouble.

    Keep up the good work.

    Let's hope nothing unfortunate happens to you or your family along the way.

    Not a golden rule i've been taught! One I have been taught is don't make promises you can't keep! I suggest you think about that. See you later Mr Keyboard Warrior! :D

    Some of your comments are so unfair, we have to have your nation insurance number so we can 'submit' you to the job. We have to check you have the relevant experience as we get complaints from emloyers that we give people detiails of jobs when they aren't suitable. Hence why not many employers are keen to place vacancies with us.
    The system is far from pefect but we work with what the goverment lays down.
    I don't work at a postal signing office so your comments may be fair there and i will gladly admit admit we aren't perfect. My office has more than doubled its staff and we are struggling to get them trained and able to do the job and answer the queries that it takes years to understand.
    The jobcentre role is to ensure you satisfy the requirments of claiming JSA 1st and foremost.

    Thanks for explaining. I can understand the reasons for asking for NI number, it is just infuriating when I can go to other job search websites and the details for jobs I want to apply for are right there but I have to call to get details on some on the Job Centre website.
    Off topic but I HAVE AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW YAY!

    how can you employ a maid cos according to this yr not working:rolleyes:
    The ''spirit of cashback''?? :confused::rotfl::T

    Im unemployed, have only £10 left of my JSA per month after having to add the other £190 to my LHA just to pay my basic rent,
    have the council demanding £86 per month council tax payments for money owing from last year due to no bill for 6months and then a huge bill,
    have thousands and thousands outstanding on 3 creditcards that i haven't made a single repayment on for nearly 2years but have had the interest on them keep rising probably,
    and owe the stupid electric company money (even though i never signed for them and only get 1 giant bill every 6months!). :mad:


    So for me there is no ''spirit'' in this,
    i just need to get that money to live! :(
    I luv freebies
  • How fantastic that someone can come on here and brag they are not working, but have a cleaner and go out every weekend and earn money on the side. Lets hope the fraud squad catch up with them soon.
    I may have lupus but it doesnt make me useless! :rolleyes: I am a true believer in Karma, and am a typical cancerian. I have a hard outside, but am mushy on the inside.:o

    Well if you dont want peoples opinions on things that are nothing to do with them dont post about it:rolleyes:
    The majority of working people on here would probably love a cleaner and be able to go out a lot but will spend their money wisely and on necessitys which imo a cleaner isnt.
    :beer: Am thinking of a new one:beer:
