    I don't think anyone's having a pop at you (not me certainly) as you are only claiming what the government says you are entitled to.

    Does make you sick when you work full-time and see people getting a lot of money in benefits. It's understandable why a lot of people don't want to work when you see things like this.

    I completely understand a friend of mine sits on heer backside all day get her rent and council tax paid and gets more money than me at the end of the month. I am just doing this because i would go stir crazy at home all day!

    Hi everyone

    Can I just remind you all that we are here for support, not criticism. Carlih1 you do not have to explain yourself, you are entitled to these benefits in order to help you to work. Excellent example to your kids, it will help them in later life because they will understand the meaning of hard work.

    Good luck to you:j

    I admire you for going out to work, having kids and dealing with your debts. Don't listen to the recent negative comments. You are doing well.

    Not sure where you think the criticism is. :confused:
    You're spot on about the example that is being set to the kids though :T

    How's it negative comments and criticism? She's obviously entitled to it and I was trying to determine what she gets and what for!
