    This is a top up to my state top up! I don't care how palatial tory MPs think the benefits system is, I can't live on it and (this might be before your time Z) a certain cretin MP called Piers Marchant had to eat his words about 20 years ago when he claimed it was. As for that other myth about Asylum seekers sponging off the state, I think you'll find there's a reason why they are so skilled at fishing, cos they're bloody hungry!

    My house is definately a step up from a contractors B&B or his caravan, that's for sure.

    Hello peepsies,

    Have people had a nice day? Got any sunbathing done? Hmmm!

    I have a long list of job sites to go through tonight. Then it's time to apply myself to applications! That will be tomorrow.

    He probably went into cardiac arrest when he was told he couldn't claim expenses.

    Ah..."skilled". I wondered if there was a word for it...

    Sunbathing? I wish! I've got a house move on Sat so I've been frantically packing for days. Why do I own so much stuff?! :eek:

    Probably Kayleigh because we all own too much stuff, well apart from perfect people! Pooky will be able to empathise with you, I think she's in the middle of a packing frenzy!

    I know, I'm just getting annoyed with myself for a) leaving the packing until the last minute, again, b) being so sentimental and keeping tons of things that I know I don't need and c) having so many half finished projects on the go that I know I'll probably never finish but I still don't want to get rid of. Half my stuff seems to be a testimony to the kind of life I wish I had. :(

    Get a few bottles of wine in and start. It'll be a laugh a minute in a short while...
