  • I'm quitting this conversation if you;re just going to get so pedantic that its ludicrous. DS probably wakes up in the night twice a year, I prob blackout 2-3 times a month for 5-20 minutes. I'd have to be VERY unlucky to collapse in the night when DS gets up.

    How exactly could I put stuff about DS's needs on my DLA form, 3 years prior to conception?

    1....it COULD happen - if you really had these blackouts it would be a serious worry for you - I have up to 20 seizures EVERY DAY ..I do know what I am talking about.
    2....How long was your DLA given for - did you apply at 15 aand still have not had to reapply !!!!! Without diagnosis !!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    Why am I not a nice person? I am a very nice person, I go to church, I work in the soup kitchens twice a year and over Christmas,

    Doesn't make you a nice person, you can buy/do many things but that will certainly never make the slighest difference.

  • Why am I not a nice person? I am a very nice person, I go to church, I work in the soup kitchens twice a year and over Christmas, yesterday I told the lady in the chinese she's charged me £3.20 instead of £3.75, I stand up for old/pregnant people on the train, I'm not two faced, I am a very caring person and treat my au pair very well

    (Did you miss the post that I'm taking her for 3 nights/4 days to Venice and Rome in March paid for out of my own money?? or that I buy all her drinks, taxis, kebab coming home....everything when we go out.....plus much more).

    If claiming what the law says I'm entitled to makes me a bad person, then I must be a bad person :confused:

    Benefit fraud? Not fraudulently claiming a penny. All legit.
    Poor parenting? Everyone who comments on how I cope so well and such a great Mum must all be two-faced liars. Fake t1ts? Yeah. And?
    How many hours per day do you , yourself care for your child?

    Yes my blackouts do worry me, who wouldn;t be a little concerned?? And yes I've had to re-apply twice I think. Think its a life award now cos I've not heard anything for just over 2 years, I was anticipating a renewal form back in September.

  • I'll be in a room full of MPs tomorrow night. Think I'll have a quiet word about the loopholes that clearly exist in the benefits system.

    If faking blackouts and bringing on heart problems while being monitored in order to make sure you get money isn't fraud, I don't know what is.

    As for parenting, it's clear that if he weren't such a money train for you you'd have eBayed him for collagen lips or botox ages ago.

    I bet your fake t1ts look as cpmpletely fake as you are as a person. Fitting really.


    And I just LOVE that you didn't disagree with me about the exploitation.

    I've said this already somewhere in the last 20 minutes but cant fine it. I'm with my son from getting homet at 6pm til 9pm or later. All weekend, and Wednesday 7am-12noon. During uni holidays (some 20 weeks a year) I'm with him a full, additional 3 days a week.

    I'd say that was more than other full-time working parents.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: First parapraph..well what can I say:A (surprised you stand up on the train though - you could blackout when you stand up - how very noble of you!
    second paragrah...no..did not miss this 1...your getting enough money in to pay for it and 2...who would look after the little one while you got on with your holiday if you did not take her! You pay for her drinks and taxis etc..oh because you live in the same house!!!and because you get hundrends of pounds a month and she get £50 a week!
