    Happy Belated Birthday Lexi!!!! :T:T:T Twas a great day for a birthday :D

    MSE keeps loading wrong and it takes ages of F5ing to get it back to normal.

    I feel much better today, still got the diawoowoo, but none of the horrible tiredness, headache, backache, neck pain, hurt all over and dizzyness. Have even been into town! :j (because I had a cheque to put in not to randomly infect strangers, although there were a few strangers I'd have happily infected if their stupidity didn't act as a barrier to germs)

    Tara, I think it's more my wireless is too slow, so it takes too long to load.

    Anyone heard from Caz today, see how she is feeling?

    totally ghay buttons, I don't see how there system can't have a warning flash up that says it's not possible to work 40hrs pw for sweet FA! They have overpaid us somewhere in the region of 8K without me realising so I feel like a right retard for not noticing! I have saved a bit of it so do you think if they force me to give some back they'll be happy with 2.5k? :p

    Awww no, it is frustrating isn't it. Hopefully when they work it out it may not be quite as bad?

    My mum ended up owing them about 3k because they had missed off one of my dad's benefits...he was on dla, incapacity and possibly a few others and she worked 16hrs, they made her pay it all back, claiming she should have checked the details were right!! Even though she had told them about all the benefits he was on and surely it's there job to know which ones are taken as income and which ones aren't, she didn't even know:mad:
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    8k! :eek: If they do make you pay it back, then just tell them all you can afford is a fiver a week :cool: Im pretty sure they can't take it off your existing claims as you'd need that to live off, well they wouldn't take it off my tax credits, I had to do it seperately (which is so stupid but considering they were wanting £100 a week :eek:) it worked out better for me.

    I blagged on the phone, oh yeah we only eat organic locally soured food it costs us £120 a week - evil moo on phone - That is way above OUR estimations on a household of 3 - oh well government tells you to eat 5 a day, Im doing what I'm told and Spar charges £2 for a lettuce, what can I doooooooooo!
