Surely you don't live cheque to cheque. Half of your money will be for bills that arrive quarterly/yearly, so that needs to be set aside straight away... which would mean you'd have something to live on until the cheque arrives, maybe tomorrow.

its not that easy when your only on 60 pound a week

Thats NOT over dramatic, i've seen plagues of locusts eat less than my kids. If for some reason money doesn't go in the bank then we go without simple! a few weeks ago we had a giro come on a saturday morning, it wasn't cashable at our nominated PO we couldn't find out where to get it cashed, what a fab weekend that was. Unfortunatly if you are on benefits you are always at someones mercy, it goes with the terrority

It WAS overdramatic.

Can someone please explain what this means in the budget???

There will be changes to the income levels (thresholds) and withdrawal rates for claiming Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit from April 2011. These include:

• raising the second withdrawal rate (the amount taken off your tax credit entitlements depending on your income) to 41% from 6.67%

I dont understand this??

Thanks

Ok if you must be paid by Giro, but I wouldn't trust the postman - mine here in Edinburgh is a stuttering, gibbering, english-as-a-foreign-language idiot.

He's too dumb to steal a giro, but he'd lose it alright.

You think she should collect it from the sorting office?

Well, sorry to be harsh, but you should have.... you'll just have to sit there without the lights on tonight, your little bellies rumbling, while you think about how to budget effectively.

If I were getting my £65 JSA/week I'd only be spending what was "mine to spend", so that means after basic bills. It's summer too ... less money needed for heating.

What did you do with last fortnight's money?

My friends granny once found my brothers giro on the landing of her flat. It was raining so daftarse the posty "dropped" it to save going to the furthest away house on his round.
