    what is wrong with not wanting to be on benefit ... i have fought quite hard so one day i could at least not be worried about one problem .. (overpayment on benefits) ... yes i do have tight months and maybe i sound more dier that maybe i am but i have no where to off load it to apart from philip x

    Dont get defensive, I said sorry at the end of my post as I knew it sounded harsh. If thats the way you want to do it then thats fine for you, all I am saying is that if I was able to get benefits of some sort to make my life a little bit easier, I would take them with open arms

    You might not want to be on benefits but if you are entitled to it then why suffer and have no money?

    If I was entitled to something I would definitely take it - my post was saying that I pay over £6k a year in Tax and NI but when I'm low on money because I am contributing to mankind's survival I get nothing back!

    You do realise WTC and TC are benefits and you seem to happily take them so your stance on other 'benefits' to which you may be entitled reads a bit strange to some people who are struggling and would be glad of extra money.

    yes csh but if i could have a job tomorrow that meant never being on them i would take it no question about it x

    I'll not carry on with this as it will just turn into a big rant, but I have been there with having to pay back money, but that doesnt happen with every single claim, and if you check and double check every figure thats there and keep records of everything, even if they do make a mistake and you can show its not your fault, then you wouldnt have to pay it back.
    Anyway, as I say, I am not going to go on as it is a bad subject .....

    What time will your train get in and which station?
    Tell me it gets there 10minutes earlier than it does - I might be on time then :p

    Knew there was a reason I didn't put the car seat in the boot :o

    ooooooooooooo What job you got?? Be cryptic!

    I've got nothing until next Monday - 5 frozen food shops!

    Is sling meet 10am? I can get the train into Central and be there for 9.30 if that's ok? I don't mind waiting around though if that's a bit early :)

    The jobs ordering something online for store pick-up, I forgot I'd even signed up as it was months ago but when I was clearing my junk emails noticed it and there was a very local job. I may have to pick your brains about MS'ing on Wed though.
    Fritha won't be happy, one of the slings she wanted to try hasn't been delivered yet! :rotfl:
