  • Oh, and yes I have been registered self employed for years now. Face pajnting a new business since my husband left but I don't think I can afford to wait for it to take off so looking for employment
  • you get over 2 GRAND a month in benefits? I'm not having a dig at you or anything, as if the government want to give out that money then your right to take it, but you wonder why people dont bother working!!

    Again this is not a dig at you but you get much more on benefits than i do and i work 6 or 7 days a week, and 10 to 12 hours a day.

    When i went BR i put down sky and presents and it was accepted, so you can only try.

    Same here we don't get as much a month as that and I run a business and my partner works. Think we should jack it all in and claim benefits, we'd be better off. Council tax paid etc......

    I could certainly live off £2600.00 per month. Pure luxury....

    Sorry no anything personal, but I just find this laughable when we slog our guts out, why do we bother....
    If you're not behind our soldiers.....please feel free to stand in front of them!
