I keep getting £4 off £30 till spits:T

I should go through a manned till. it's a shame self scan doesn't give till spits. I'm addicted to the scanners I will say I sacn ALOT and I have done my last 7 shops without a service check. which backs up what the SA told me about checks. They are set by the store. A they can set it to do 1 in every so many shops. So one in 4, 1 in 5 etc.

it's a total myth that if you do a lot of scanning/deleting you will get selected for a check.

You are kind of right, there are working tax credits, which anyone with or without children are entitled to depending on what they earn, and also child tax credits, which as the title suggests you have to have a child in order to get, and also depends on your salary. I earn too much for working tax credits, but get child tax credits.

However, I think a lot of people don't know this, and the perception is they're just another benefit and they get lumped in with all the others.

My kids were 2.5 and 3.5 when I split up with my husband. I started in the police a short time later, full time, and to be honest, if it hadn't of been for tax credits and the contribution towards childcare costs I was entitled to at the time (think it was either 75% or 80%, can't quite remember), then I would never have been able to afford to take the job. The kids had to go to nursery full-time, which was around £800, and on the starting salary I was on I just wouldn't have been able to afford that on top of mortgage, bills, food etc.

I actually didn't go part-time until I had quite a few years in the job, but since I did I've always done more than 30 hours.

Your cleaner sounds lovely FC, with a great work ethic, and I know from previous posts she has given you a lot of support and become more than just a cleaner to your family.

I guess it could have gone the other way when my ex left, and I could have stayed at home, claimed benefits etc. However, I've worked since I was 13, and there was no way I was giving up the house we lived in, so I needed to pay the mortgage. However, it did make me smile when I sold up 7 years ago to move to an area within catchment for a better school and my house sold for almost 4 times what I (we) paid for it.

Civvy or officer :T:T:T

You are so right ladyshopper
My head is already spinning with the spin and spin again depending on who's saying what. i never take things at face value, like to do my own research if possible but this GE, I'm more confused than I have ever been as to who to vote for. Vote i will definitely do but....more research needed before I do.

I went to Cape Verde in 2011, loved it, stayed at the Riu complex and the food was amazing. Particularly loved seeing baby turtles on the beach and visiting the salt lake

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at riu touareg, Boa Vista. I've hit 2 kids under 4 and will only be paying for one (as the other is an infant). Getting as many hols in as I can before he hits 2 :rotfl:

Cape Verde is the one. Going to book tomorrow. Exciting. X

I was going to skim read, but that was an interesting catch up.

Completely shattered today, the show was so busy I didn't get more than a 5 minute break where I ran to get a goody bag. It didn't help that some muppet decided to play really loud music until 4am, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. I wouldn't have minded but the music was absolutely terrible. Some people have no taste :rotfl:

Have you tried the Finest PG yet?

It's not bad:T

Don't like PG so you would certainly shake me off with a glass of that.

wonders if anyone has a clue what I am on about
