    Can I live with you?;) My ma takes £35 a week off me:eek:

    In all honesty, i meant if the OP was on JSA etc.
    My daughter lives with us temporarily and she is working on a good wage so actually pays £55 a week. Mind she gets a lot of tlc, washing, cleaning, home cooking, home baking. mmm when its written down i still think she's getting a bargain.lol..........

  • Just to clarify for the people that jumped on this thread like Oldernotwiser ( clearly a apt name ) the £64 a week rent i pay is set by the council and is for board only, i pay it to my mother as she has to actually pay them, i buy my own food, pay for the electric, sky, phone and internet

    My brother pays £7 out off his JSA and that amount is set by the council

    Thanks for the useful info DX2, Dippy :) ill get my mother to ring them first thing monday morning

    What a load of twaddle.

    Just because the council allow £7 doesnt mean he has to pay your mother that.

    You were extremely rude in your post. You asked for help on a public forum - what did you expect.
    I cant believe people like you. You need to grow up matey.

    You surely can't think that the council gets involved in setting the rate at which adult children pay for their keep?:confused: How does your mother have to pay the money you pay her for your board to the council?:confused:

    Apart from being rude, your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!

    That is what the amount the council worked out he must pay towards his share of the RENT as i stated, the rest of the bills are split. And your correct i asked for info and help both of which your reply wasnt. Dont mean to offend but i cant see why ou posted if you didnt actually have any help or info to put forward:rolleyes:
