I know you weren't aiming it at me...I just thought it sounded like those who get TC, were kind of rubbing it in a little bit to those who don't...I wanted to justify my reason for getting them

noone needs to justify anything honey and as i said my post wasnt meant to be anything like that i dont take any notice of who gets what to be honest we all here as we made mistakes and trying to sort them out, thats why we are a unit, its was merely a generalisation and shock as to why i posted id love to be living on 50k and if i did i would be shocked if i was still offered gov help!

No need to apologise Scooby!!

It is a struggle - I'd love to post my SOA so you can see it but it's too embaressing!!

We live on crappy food, don't buy new clothes or shoes, don't go anywhere, don't buy anything as 'treat' (wine for the evenings. take-aways) - basically we're existing just now. I'm in desperate need of some things but I can't go to the shops to get them, I keep having to put it off 'until next month' - I keep hoping the day will come that we can go to the shop and buy the big brand named foods or go to the butcher for some nice fresh meat and having a really nice, proper food or even to be able to buy something randomly instead of every penny being accounted for...my day will come, eventually!

Hi all, my pad today is £1 again.

Off out soon to help my mum get things organised for my brother's 18th birthday tomorrow. So will be chaffeur and assistant cook then.

Sasha - that is some repair bill. :eek:

Angelic on your income to PAD over £4K in just over a year is amazing:A - I don't know how much you have to pay off but when you do things will get a bit easier although unless you can up your income things are never going to be a doddle I woud have thought that it is precisely your sort of family that the government should be helpng and I hope that with the influence of the Lib Dems that this will happen.

Glad to hear that Adam is doing so well.

No I feel for you-as I said I can't manage on what I get & that's without children. It does seem bad that if you get more work to earn more you'd actually end up with less money, I'm presuming that's what you meant with the employment/self emp situation. Think they need to rethink that one! Also think they need to lower the top limit though as my mum's next door neighbours use tax credits & have a smart new porsche sitting in their driveway which just makes me sad. You'd think they'd either not claim them or at least make it less obvious they don't them. They're not terrribly nice people either-I'd love to redistribute their spare money for them :rotfl:

Mine too when I win the bl00dy euro!!!! :rotfl::rotfl: I can dream!!

I also couldn't believe that people on £50k a year were getting help from tax credits!! unbelievable. I'd love to know how they did it cos I've had nothing but hassle from them - they overpaid me about 6 years ago and I'm still paying it back!! but it never seems to go down by much!
My fault apparently - even tho I just filled in the paper work and sent it back to them, I also rang them several times asking if I was getting too much, no no they said that's right!! Then out of the blue they send me a letter saying they've over paid me and I have to pay it back and they'll let me do it in installments - how kind!!! I've argued with them loads of times as I said it was their mistake not mine!! I was honest with them and told them how much I earned so how could it be my fault????:mad:

Can't believe you have a register EE :rotfl:Do I need a note for all my late attendances?!
