Can't vouch for the accuracy of the article as they can't even spell his name correctly but he does appear to have been declared bankrupt a few weeks back.

Been there. She's right!
Merry Christmas!

This quote really echoes with me, its true, you do lose the fear.

re Liz Jones. The comments under her article are generally not v sympathetic. She says the OR has stopped her having a car but surely she'd be allowed a car for around £1000 as the rest of us are? She should come onto this forum where people are determined to do the best they can without so much self pity!

I can't believe a paper would pay someone to write an article like that - hopefully her others were better.

I think that's pretty typical of Liz Jones and the Daily Mail to be honest.

I actually think there's a possibility the whole thing is fabricated to give her something to hang an article on.

But I am keeping an eye on the register and (to some extent) the awful Daily Mail site.
