    For example, DH earns £46k, we loose it, next door earn £40k each, they don't. How is that right?

    Csh has suggested on another thread capping it at 2 children. Admin on that would be easy.
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    Most of the things sound like minor annoyances which would become a big one all put together, I really hate people being in my way in my tiny kitchen.

    But that ^ one is unforgivable. :rotfl:


    Becky My old car had a container (like the water one) labelled for the brake fluid, it was quite simple. I'm not sure if all cars are so simple though, I haven't done it for years. Thats what I keep OH for. :D

    GISI, was going to point out the bra situation with that dress. If I wore it, it would be offensive! :eek: Perhaps something not quite so low cut? ;) Like the style and general cut of the dress, though I think you could pull off something sexier than a maxi ;).

    :o thanks! Yeah it would probably be quite offensive on me. I might go and try it on and see.

    The thing with capping CB at two children is you are distributing it more evenly, but not necessarily to the people who actually need the money to feed and clothe their children. I get the stopping it for 'high earners' but looking at individual income rather than household doesn't seem like a fair way to do it, and what will happen where parents aren't married, aren't living together etc etc.

    But it means that you are in their system and there is another property which is even better just waiting for you - I have a feeling in my water that this will be a good thing for you xxxx
