I don't think its 100% accurate but it should give you an idea of where you stand if it does happen..... play with the figures.... I found we would be better off if I am working SE (and not really earning) than if I didn;t work and OH claimed JSA.... not much but it all helps....

Have a winge and a moan on here with us luvvie.... it certainly makes you feel better!

Nixi - I know.... I am still in shock that someone would offer to help so much!! I really didn;t expect it!!!

Hi victoriaplum. I play the free bingo on costabingo but I did have to deposit £20 when I first started

mambury

wow Mabel.... I had kind of guessed but thought I'd best keep stum! I hope it all goes well..... you could end up making a killing!!

nikki2804

I'm playing on costa just now and I didn't need to deposit anything. Just signed up and clicked "free bingo" lol.

Argh, must stop looking at wedding dresses!

HopeAndDriftWood

Wow I agree, what a buy!
I bet you can't wait to get them...I'm so impatient, lol.

Mambury - Come to Brum before July!

victoria-hope it all works out for you hun-take care. dont know much about the bingo sites,there are the free scartchcards on some which are well worth doing (search the gambling board for the bingo and free scratchcards thread)

Nooo-Mambury you cant go to Birmingham-I'll have no-one to go to pottington boot sale with :-(

Website is fixed...am still chuckling...had very apologetic email from my webperson who had changed a setting last night and forgot to change it back!!! Its usually me apologising to her for breaking my site!

moneymabel

Thanks saucy and mambury,
well some of them are worth at least £20 and most are worth at least a tenner so should be ok!

mambury

NO way (no offence Saucy!!LOL!) am I moving to Birmingham!

The kids are settled, in a good school with really low pupil numbers (17 in the whole school, theres only 8 in DS class!!) and the extension isn't finished. OH will push for redundancy (mortgage is insured to the hilt! so that will be covered) and look to go back on the tools....

Don't worry Mabel, I'll still be here!!

nixinixi

Mambury - if you end up in Birmingham you would be near me and Saucy (till she moves to sunnier climes that is!)

Mabel - what did you buy, I'm intrigued, sounds like a fantastic opportunity though. You are so brave, really impressed!

Hey, is not Doncasters is it? Thanks for your thoughts re entitled to, I shall have to try that, when I rang tax credit helpline a while back re me working a few hours they told me we'd be better off if my oh only worked pt as they would make money up? Sounds too good to be true though!
