OP you will not get a bigger home via social housing, you are entitled to a two bedroom home and you have one. Even if you try and do a swap say via homeswaper.co.uk the social housing landlord will have to authorise it before the swap can take place and they will not allow you to swap a two bedroom for a three bedroom home unless you are entitled to it.

Your only hope is to rent private, I live in a two bedroom council house although they are classed as cottages with my wife and three children aged 1, 5 & 9 all boys and all share one bedroom.

The council would possibly allow it.
I swapped from a 2 bed flat to a 3 bed house when I only had one child.
Some councils will not allow it but most do.
I'm doing an exchange next week, from a 2 to a 2 but the lady I'm swapping with lives on her own, my council authorised the swap whereas she tried with Brighton and hove council which is neighbourng and they would only allow her to swap to a 1 bed.

Regarding the OP, I have 2 children, they are both boys and they share, I will always live in a 2 bed, in an ideal world I would love a 3 bed but if I was that desperate I would rent and pay the difference.

My advice to you would be to move to a larger 2 bed property, my flat is HUGE, has 2 big double bedrooms, and my children have loads of room in their bedroom.

Reducing my working hours.
I currently work 37.5hrs/wk full time but want to reduce my hours down to 16hrs/wk. I take home about £800/mth and want to know will i get enough benefits to "replace" the loss of wages?? Im living with my other half who also works full time and we've got a 3yr old who goes to nursery full time, 5 days a week.

Would you say you find it easier to get mad a someone like this, then say, Fred Goodwin?

Yes, because there was no law that told RBS what they should pay Fred Goodwin. His salary package was entirely their decision.

If your boss told you today that he's decided to quadruple your salary, for no particular reason, would you decline it because other people don't earn that much??

if my OH's £500 a month tax wasn't taken from his wages before he got it, and we had to take that £500 over to a family living across the road who don't work and pay it to them in lieu of SOME of their benefit--you can rest assured I'd be doing more than just offering them tea and sympathy. I'd be telling them to get off their arsss and do something.

And !!!!!! has Fred Godwin got to do with the price of fish? He WORKS doesn't he?

Obviously MentalMinnie is aware the welfare state is for those who fall into hardship through no fault of their own and not for the irresponsible to take advantage of.

The OP has gone V. quiet since the backlash started. Non of her threads tally up either.

perhaps she has forgone her internet connection and the money it costs her (us tax payers), to put towards the rent on a privately rented 3-bed she feels she is ENTITLED to?

Nah, she'll be down the DSS claiming hardship and demanding more money!

As she never seems to come back to finish her threads I think it is safe to say the she is a troll

LIkes winding people up methinks

I agree, I think 'she' may be one of MSE's resident trolls...
