I get carers allowance for my son but not for my mum as the dr said she was fine so turned down for DLA...same DR who refused to see me today... My son also goes to a group once a fortnight at the moment which I had to fight tooth and nail for as was originally turned down the help!

This is so true.... my DD2 is autistic (non-verbal) and it has been the same for us

See how much love is in the room

First of all thanku to everyone (especially fudge2) you are all a great bunch! After seeing the coke lorry photos I decided to take the younger kids to see it tonight! It was a bit of a trek (around 45 mins or so to get there) and by the time we got there they wouldnt let us queue up to have the photo, but just seeing it was magical - to me and the kids!!
On the way home we went to a couple of tesco's.
I finally managed to get a couple of the Toy Story bags and ITNG Aquadoodles :T Nearly had a heart attack when I saw how much the Rapunzel Aquadoodle was - wrong princess and they didnt have any of the others, but I did get the Thomas fork and spoon set! Mars Bar Ice Creams and Fruit and Nut bar all came out at the normal price, and I didnt find any 4p or 1p superbargains but did get the 54p torch, and 6 Galaxy selection boxes for £6! So at least the kids wont have empty stockings at Christmas!!
Thank you all again

Happychappy: Thank you for all the jokes - only had chance to read a couple so far. You really seem to be joining in now. Hope your ear is better (not had chance to read back for a few days):)

Nikki: Keep up the good work on the ciggie front!

Seems like my ear is better thanks.

right, off to bed now... need to wake up quite early to get ready for the interview as I didn't do anything today apart from being with you all day

I'm gonna give my best and hopefully I will be in a very nice position to be able to choose one of two offered jobs...

Good luck! :):)

Apparently a genuine reply from Customer Relations at the Inland Revenue:

Dear Mr Addison,

I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order.

Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last correspondence as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we, at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.

Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and !!!!ant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain , with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.

Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of Truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing !!!!!s" whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system."

A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:

1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system;

2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrows of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable.

I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the money.

Please forward it by Friday.

Yours Sincerely,
H J Lee Customer Relations.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the wife asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"

"Yep," the husband replied, "in-laws"

Happychappy: glad your ear is better - sorry, I can't thank you - the thanks button has disappeared?

Beki: can you see another doctor tomorrow if you still aren't feeling better? You should have had a check-up?

Right, g'night all. Take care.
