Hmm, I think your friend is a bit mixed up unless she knows something the rest of us don't. I think there are plans to reduce the threshold for tax credits and to possibly stop Child Benefit being automatic to everyone and make it means tested, but nothing has been set in stone yet.
.

Or maybe she is mixing it up with child trust fund?

Beenie, give me her number? I tell her where to go! lol.

Can i pick your brains please? I need an ebay title for DH's old ipod.

Its an Ipod Classic, black, scratched on the back, 30gb and the headphone socket doesn't work well. It only lets you hear out of one earphone.
I dont want to put 'Faulty' as during my research all the 'faulty' listings only had upto £12.

It works perfectly fine other than the headphone thing

Well you could just title it as normal, and without putting "Excellent condition" or anything in the title. Just like "iPod Classic 30gb black" and just make sure you describe it well and make it clear.

This one has the exact same problem so it must be quite common and it went for a good price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5th-GEN-iPOD-CLASSIC-30GB-faulty-broken-d-amaged-spares-/170498188697?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_PortableAudio_MP3Players&hash=item27b27be599

I haven't watched this all the way through but it's a fix apparently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvZUXQ-l0wY

Ah yeah she probably is. I think being on MSE all the time i'd know about such things before her, surely!

Fitz can i be a coward and do it over text? She'll probably ring me though to screw with my head. Omg why do i get myself into these situations?!

Beenie (and others); am just lurking so sorry to butt in but I work in Goverment legislation and can reassure you that until the budget announcement on next Tuesday no one knows what is happening with CTC and IS (or indeed Chb for that matter). Anything anyone tells you at this point is pure speculation (and probably groundless!).
Hope that reassures some of you.
I'll booger back off to just lurking now!

P.S I agree with the others; tell her to do one!

Hi elliebobs!

Do you lurk here often?

redmel1621

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of people MIA???

Evansangel

Thanks Beenie
I have listed it now, hopefully it sells!

Taking my old phone to CEX tomorrow to sell, should get about £20-30 hopefully

And i have some more stuff under the stairs in my 'for sell' box to list on ebay

my child has only just gone to bed :mad: driving me bloody nuts - I missed that window of opportunity! He was overtired from creche so he's a right grump. I can't find the monitor so don't know if he's crying or not - bad mummy!

hi ellie! don't lurk

Beenie - stay strong with it, just repeat yourself to her over and over and over. Text her, then ignore her if she phones you. Simples

After Krystal's announcement and Sami & EA mentioning CDM I just realised I'm CDM35 :eek: Last cycle was 31 so am pushing my luck a little bit

You should butt in more often IMO :beer:

Thanks for the info, your job sounds interesting/stressful

Ah well all the more reason to tell her to do one, cos on Tues when Slimy Cameron tells us scummy single parents on benefits to get off our !!!!!! and get a job pronto, then i won't have time to look after a bad mannered ignorant cheeky brat :A:T
