I had a cinq. Great car but sat very low on the road and got swamped by lorries. Got cut up a lot too cos people didn't believe it was going that fast and pulled out.
I might have to sell my car and buy a pair of walking boots soon. :rotfl:

On the video?
Midsommer Murders I recorded in 2008! That's how bored I am.
JSA think I can run a house and feed myself on £45 a week. They are just form generating puppets controlled by idiots. Just think, when the recession ends and we all have jobs they may have to claim JSA. :rotfl:

Bookie, its just rediculous, I know many people think we are lucky in this country and that we get a lot but I just think the whole system is !!!!ed. How can so many people live and survive on benefits? The way they do is so fiddle the system so they get maximum payment. I guess me giving up work would probably generate more income from benefits now...or find a job that pays minimum wage but for 16 hours..I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway.

I live on a private estate near a 'subsidised' housing place. People there don't work, seem to have at least 3 kids each and the police are there every night - drugs etc. And yet they walk past me to the shop every day smoking and on mobiles. They walk back with carrier bags full of booze. They have more money than me and yet I have worked since I was 18.

Oh Sally and Bookie, that is awful. Are there no other benefits out there you can claim? I know you have probably looked into it but that just seems so unbelievable that you should be expected to live on this low level of money.
I don't know what to say - I wish I could help somehow.OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j
