Had a bit of a :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: when checking my bank this morning. Sadas have taken the full online order amount of 95.00:eek: for a shop of udis/baxters that actually cost about 30.00. Do I need to ring them or will I be refunded? I know this has happened before to people but never to me! Got a Panic on :rotfl:

Thanks

Ooo, excellent, I love a good debate, and just in time for the school holidays when people suddenly loose the balls to post under their usual forum names.

My take on benefits, if anyones interested.

I think they do need massive changes, there are people who have no intention of ever 'working' for a living because they have it easy on benefits. For some, it is all they have known, we are now on the third generation of homes where no one has worked in this area, ever since the majority of heavy industry were closed down.
Children have seen their parents and grandparents live a reasonable life without having to work, so why should they? This needs to change. For those that can work, they should be made to do a few hours a day if they want state hand-outs. Perhaps doing jobs that make life a little nicer for all those that do work.
I believe rents should be paid straight to the landlord, and vouchers for food be given, and be none transferable. There was a person on my local selling page last week selling milk vouchers, this needs stopping.
On the flip side, I also think the transition onto benefits for those that have fell on hard times needs changing, perhaps a percentage of their average earnings, being reduced on a sliding scale over a year or so, so that they can adjust to the reduced income a little easier, and after all, if they have paid a lot more into the system, they deserve a little more out of it.
Make it so that working people get preference for medical appointments at certain times (controversial perhaps) as if people dont work, they can go at the times when there is less demand.
I dont think there is any reason why someone who is lucky enough to be fit and health not to find work. But people dont like doing certain jobs, hence the influx of people from other countries, doing the jobs people here will not do. These people are willing to graft, and graft hard.

I remember once listing to a 17 year old who had her life all planned out. She was going to finish college, have a baby so she could get a house, then have another child. No intention of ever working, this is the mindset we need to change.

there is nothing wrong with a good debate if it is started in a nice way like what do people think of..ect


everyone is entitled to their opinion


its the way it is being put across and dropping in personal digs that is the problem and there is no need for it

Right all caught up now, off to the salt mine again.

I think as the conversation has drifted again we need either a massive glitch to get us back on track

Or as this is Monday and its not likely to happen until the Tuesday/Wednesday change over we need pages of photos of dogs, cats, holiday places and peculiar looking plants or birds that need identifying :rotfl:

Some people on benefits already have to do work to receive their benefit's it's called the community work program ..
6hours aday 5days a week to be able to claim jsa.

Is it not just 'ring-fenced' and when they eventually take the money out, it will be the right amount?

Excellent idea, it should be rolled out to everyone on JSA that is fit and healthy, even if it is only for 3-4 hours a day.

Rather than a walk it's for food
Rather than head butting it's biting and scratching

Woah, he's a bit of a diva when he's hungry :rotfl:

Has it definitly gone or is just on hold. If gone and it was me I would ring as it takes several days to get a refund back to your account. Thats a lot of money to lose.

On another note, still no Walkers vouchers since a week last Saturday I think.

Thanks you! I will head out for those. Got a christening on sunday and was going to do sweetie jars but maybe i'll do mini biscuit jars instead :rotfl: Take it that vs Ts works fine? Not much time to read back so i'll pop in the usual prawn crackers, paracetamol, bog roll...think this is off the list now but we are running low :eek:

Yes, that's vs Tescos might be something vs morries but I've not taken interest vs M :rotfl:

the shades 4 white are comparing to £1.75 now (or thereabouts) rather than the £1 we had before the apg changed over, prawn crackers are still good.
