    I cant see the teaching happening gonzo, I cant afford to carry on my voluntary work in the school anymore, cant get a paid job to continue getting the experience I need, and I've already been rejected from the PGCE once, and there aren't really the jobs in this area even if I do manage to finally get qualified. :(

    Sorry for the negativity in my post, but I'm considering giving the teaching thing up completely now and that makes me sad :(

    Some of you may remember that I became unemployed last August and went onto income based jsa because I was self employed. It took them nearly 3 months to process my claim and my MP had to intervene. Because I had a small mortgage protection policy they deducted this from my award and paid me £45 a week.
    After 13 weeks I asked about my mortgage interest being paid and was told I didn't qualify until 26 weeks.
    I started work in Feb just after I applied for the mortgage interest,
    Today I get THREE letters which made no sense so I phoned.
    They now say they didn't deduct the motgage protection! He has now gone to find out what they did deduct and why. Therefore i owe them money. However, I WAS entitled to mortgage interest from 13 weeks so they will take what i owe off that and pay it to the building society.
    They are noallowed to pay it o me despite the fact that I scrimped and borrowed to keep the payments up!

    I feel mental a lot of the time...it's nice to have an aunty red...makes a change having one who listens.

    Bookie, they sound like a bunch of bleedin' idiots....stupid really tbh.

    And gonzo, I'd be your bit on the side, but frankly, you couldn't keep up with me ;)

    Have booked my hold luggage for the trip home from Finland...what's the betting it'll be full of hockey stuff, ciggies and booze!
