i dont really want to work
*sigh.......* neither do I ...... BUT when I went to my Employer and told him that I wouldnt be coming back to work but still expected to see my monthly wages in my bank account every month you should have heard his reply!!! Cheeky git he is expecting me to come to work every day before he will pay my wages!
The loopy one has gone :j0 -
If you want to live on benefits for the rest of your life, its no problem, just do this.
Steal something, shoplift or money from a till and make sure you are caught, easy. Make sure you get a criminal conviction, if it involves you being rude so they throw the book at you, do it.
Once you have the conviction, go on jobseekers and do everything you have to do to keep your benefits, just make sure you disclose your conviction and what its for at every interview. You won't ever get a job.
You can sit happily on benefits forever with no sanctions!!0 -
