Oh my lord!!

My heart is thumping so much!!

The big boys at the *quango I work with* want to come and meet with us on Tuesday for us to prove that what we said in our tender was true. As long as they are happy that we weren't telling porkies (which we weren't) then we will be awarded the contract in Mid-Feb!!

Not celebrating yet, and it could still be a long time yet - some of the ladies here weren't even mummies yet when the initial decision was due (8th November) but it is all looking VERY positive!!

Mini YAY!!

I actually heard that they were coming to see us a few days ago but I didn't dare believe it until I just received an official meeting agenda now!!

Scared!!!

:j:T:j:T:j:T

mini YAYS all round for you. i soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hope you get it

We reported his ex to the csa but they told us the if she was claiming CB we had to pay. They advised us to report her for benefit fraud which we did in oct and heard nothing.

I cannot believe if the fraud dept had made this phone call back in Oct we would have had it all sorted by now! Have informed CSA of this and they were ringing her this week so just waiting for an update. Oh is so annoyed that hes paying her £200 a month for nothing

CSA have to keep working as long as CB is in payment. The fraud department belong to the benefits agency and have nothing to do with CSA - and are notoriously rubbish!

CSA staff do tons of fraud referrals - and i'd say 50% of them disappear into a black hole at the Bens agency.

But she will have to pay it back, and OH will get a refund of what he's paid since he shouldn't have been. :j

So what I did this week was find out ex's phone number and rang her pretending to be from a government agency to see if her son was still in full time education. She answered all my 'security questions' and then eventually admitted he didnt go to college and what would happen to her for claiming:eek: I told her to ring the csa and CB to say she wasnt entitled and they would make her pay back the money.

Pinkprincess, I am so impressed with your ingenious idea and with your acting skills for carrying it off, well done you! :T:T Hope justice can now be done

Aww, SIL has had a boy no name or weight passed on yet.
The poor thing had the whole birthing pool, natural activity all sorted except that after 8 hours there was still no progress so they epidural/oxytocin'ed her, and after another 8 hours got a result... She has to stay in for 48 hours but I hope that's just precaution not because of anything serious!

Preliminary grats MFD! Get in there!

Thanks Weezyl and Jillie - My ideal job would be a private detective - Im very good at finding things out and all my friends come to me when they need a bit of detective work. OH was very impressed as although he wants this sorted as much as me he wouldn't have the nerve to do the things I do:rotfl:

Have rang the benefits fraud again this morning with all her details AGAIN.... Im sure if I ring them and the CSA each day they will eventually get fed up of me and sort it out - Im hoping:rolleyes: The benefit fraud operator was like' so you rang her and pretended to be from the benefits agency????' not exactly what I said to her was ' Im doing an investigation into your claim for Child support and can you answer some security questions for me!!' not my fault she presumed I was working for the government lol
