    Quick update my granny has taken ill so haven't had a chance to sit down and discuss with him. Last night my friend who is the manager of a take away brought us supper to cheer me up, his kids have said to mum they got a takeaway and she's flipped her lid today that we can have a takeaway but not pay for his kids!! Never mind that we didn't pay a penny for it, or that last night she went out for a curry and a night out!!

    And to top off an already crappy day I got rejection letters for 2 jobs!! As of today I've applied for 126 jobs in the last 6 weeks alone!!

    Arrrgh! Hope everyones having a better Saturday then me!!

    I'm confused.

    Why would she flip that you can have a takeaway but not pay for his kids when he is paying £300 a month and you haven't even discussed not paying with him or her?

    Sorry I should of said he told her it would be late this month *because of the earnings arrestment * so hasn't paid her yet. That's why she went nuts!
