    Other than that Dr Dragon and I went to Tescos and one of their employees managed to ram a trolley straight into my shattered right ankle - getting home we discovered I am out of pain killers so I am hoping paracetamol will take the edge of the pain! (if not I am fairly sure that a liberal dose of Merrydown cider will help :p)

    Ow!!! :o
    Hope you yelled at them and asked for free shopping to make up for it!!

    Hi Taxi - I have only been putting up the 3 day ones rather than the continuous ones as we don't want trolls getting on there! I put an invite on your thread though :D

    Okay sat here crying and shaking, DWP have decided that we don't qualify for Income Support because I am on Incapacity Benefit and so between us we get more than £130 per week!

    Out of this we have to pay the mortgage, increased fuel bills, Council Tax, other bills oh and maybe buy some food as well

    HIya Dragon - gosh your thread took some finding.

    At least Friday and the meeting are over; and Dr Dragon is out of the firm and the problems they have.

    With the Chore Wars _ had inadvertently (sp?) also ended up as a dragon - worked out how to change and done so.

    DOn't tell OO or Hypno but as I had a guest over the weekend and did a fair amount of washing I now have an ironing pile again! Will fit that in asap!

    Ah no this is just the next stage - it might be easier all round if he WAS out of the firm

    I don't have total dibs on being a Dragon!!

    You will be able to clear it in no time I reckon!

    Oh I am sorry Dragon - I must have crossed posts. I am confused though; I thought Jobseekers allowance was firstly contribution based and then after a period of time income based. Has the Dr claimed it previously and used up his contribtion based entitlement?

    Or is Income Support on top of the other benefits and not therefore payable?

    Can you pop over onto the benefit boards for more info?

    My blood boils at the amount I put in as I am sure if I ever had to claim I'd be in the same boat as the Dr!
