    most people will know this Im disabled but i worked 60 hours + a week to pay my debts
    including 2 jobs

    funny thing is since going BR i've managed to drop from 89 doses of medication a day to 54 but i did everything i could to pay as much as I could off. Shame my EX prat i mean err Husband made the debt worse or I would have paid it off!

    I was walking round with shoes with holes in, clothes that were second hand so either to big or slightly too small.
    There was no Heating in our house but jumpers and blankets
    and some times there was no eating

    wish i could afford nails ever or haircuts more then 2 -3 times per year if that and ive been BR now for 2 years!

    Now now you all no this board is non judgemental, and if it was me giving the OP a hard time you would all be jumping on my case as usual .

    I agree with everything you all write, but the OP is playing the system and that is the problem.

    Have a lovely holiday in India.
  • in the 2 1/2 years that i have been coming on here, i have never read the like of it. Why should some people struggle to make ends meet and have to come here and read this? Why cant people just be grateful that there is a br system and stick to the rules? Curly I had my hair cut last in January this year, let alone nails etc. However, saying that im just glad that im not that shallow. Holidays....well enough said.
  • Lilibet you'd be suprised....its not the 1st time i've seen it in 4+years here
