Going by your other posts today, someone like yourself on JSA really shouldn't be so judgemental. How are your teeth by the way?? I wish I could get a teeth whitening treatment...you're very lucky benefits exist huh...
Well done to those concerned and also Martin for setting up the Forum in the first place.:beer:
I'll be the first to say that I think some posters are a bit too 'poor you babe' and all the rest of it, but I think your comment was a bit nasty and uncalled for, I for one wouldn't want the sheer hard work it takes looking after 5 kids.
I don't know Toniq and Easter but there are times in all our lives where someone elses kindness puts the bad times in the shade, and if we all helped each other a bit more we'd live in a better world.
I hope easter can ignore the disrespectful comment made by Toni650, we that know the true easter, know it isn't true. I really hope toniq's laptop brings you lots of comping luck and a well deserved win for toniq too.
MSE really is the best thing I have came across online.
Easter may you have many comping wins on your new gift & Toniq You are 1 in a million, a true angel & you brighten up everyones day.
I spent as I said 26 years caring for mom mom on carers allowance of just over 46p per hour. Yes my choice but she was crippled with Parkinsons and eventually Dementia and went into care the year before she passed away, I had also cared for my nan and grandad. One crippled with arthritus and one Completely bedridden at the same time which meant i was washing and caring for them also while having my children. my husband was also caring with me and when i lost mom he did HGV course. We had struggled and struggled because we had no wage coming in only Invalid care allowance made up with income support at the time. My husband lost all overtime a long time back and yes we are on tax credits (for 3 children not 5) but his wage is believe it or not around £80 over each year so i cant get free school meals or any help..other than that.
My children are not all young so i dont get tax credits for all of them..my sons are 23 and 21..one doesnt live at home and he works full time ...Eldest is doing a masters course at university for which he has a £10,000 debt to pay off for his furthering his education...his choice although i'm very proud and he will pay it back.
I'm sorry this is long and prob a bit boring but i'm a very proud person and would never take handouts, hence the emotion i felt when i rec'd Toni's gift.
