    so far I'm liking what I hear, well what I understand :p not up to parental benefits yet!
    I think we might be ok though, they seem to think we are low enough earners to not be mean to us

    Did you know that if you reject their friend request then it sends them notification that they have been rejected...however, if you accept them as a friend and THEN delete them, no notification is sent ;)

    AND it gives you the satisfaction of deleting them :cool:

    I don't think it does notify them, it just always says pending I think

    Just had lunch and now working (;)) and keeping up with the budget - am hoping they don't put VAT up to 20%. What on earth was the point in labour dropping it to 15% for these to just put it up to 20%?

    Think the name ConDemNation is very fitting!

    I thought I was the only saddo!



    Child benefit frozen for three years. :( Is the only one that's made sense to me up to now.

    The new baby part of tax credits is reduced too I think I heard - ooh, screapped in 2011/12.

    And CTC withdrawn at £40,000 instead of £50,000 - unfortunately that won't affect me! :rotfl:

    New medical assessment for DLA could be interesting.
