    well its lashing down with hail stones so Im not going anywhere!!!

    I am going to try and sit down with OH and go through finances. He is apparently no eligable for income based JSA as I earn too much £420 a month and we are expected to pay all bills and live on that pmsl! Not sure whether Tax credits might increase but need to phone them up

    That is stupid.

    Oh Sal everything I want to say sounds stupid.420 a month. my rent alone is 500 pounds.

    I know you have done it before but see if the up your income board has anything new - not today but after Christmas? could you think about doing avon?

    You see I am saying this Sal but this is what I really want to say I am so sorry if it upset you - I will delete it if it upsets you. to Sally's OH Please get up off you backside and stop putting your wife through all this stress and look for a job, ANY thing to just relieve the bloody pressure. For God's sake, I know it must be hard but the bottom line here is that you need MONEYto feed your child and your wife.She is doing her bit do Yours.


    No wonder your head is going round at 90 miles an hour. !!!!.
