yes they should although we know they are loaded,it wont make life better for other people as we all get the same amounts also the goverment wouldnt give the surplus to those under the amount as it would be used for other things, if they were to take it away from the rich and loaded.

What gets my goat up is people who I know get given gorgeous 2 bed houses as a single/or a couple which I say jolly good luck to them but then they decide to have more kids so the council have to then find three bed houses for them. I dont care who I offend here because I really dont see why the councils should fork out extra housing just beciase we choose to reproduce. I dont know this country is all wrong anyway.......dont get life sometimes anyway

well the council wont even give me a house, i live in a 2 bed private rented house. its tiny, awful and full of damp the landlord wont do anything about it and its really getting me down. lily-maes chest is bad and the doctor says the damp could be aaffecting her. so i feel so shit knowing that our house is making her ill

Dionne

kris takes the piss out of me, we were talking about our wishs for 2007 and i said "my dream is to get a council house"
he wet himself laughing saying some high dreams you have

i just hate private renting so much, ild love to have a secure home

Surely you must be close now dionne?

Dionne

what to getting a council house?

no way near. there is a 3 yr waiting list at the mo. and i have 0points. im not homeless or in a unstable house etc etc oh and i dont have any illness.

thats what its like here. its so stupid. they would rather sell all their council houses or give them to immigrants

I havent got anything against people getting council houses at all I grew up in one,and it was lovely

What annoys me is someone I know went into a 2 bed brand new house which was gorgeous and then when they had baby no2 the same sex,the council immdiately fell over backwards and gave them a three bed house that was also brand new on a rural development which believe me is 100 times better structurarly (sp?) than myn,now again I wouldnt care but their rent is £220 a week and he earns £800 plus a week which is something she constantly brags about now this makes me sick.

If you are not earning or your need is for this then i am not being judgemental at all believe you me.

No way should child benefit be tested. I use mine on Seren, buy her nappies, toys, clothes etc. Don't see why I should lose out on that just because I work.

KX

As I have said before Dionne present urself as homeless!

twinkletoes

you have to be carful doing that. they can turn round and say you made yourself intentionallu homeless. well it might be different where you live, but here if they think you have made yourself intentionally homeless they plonk you in a grotty hostel thats full of druggies and prositutes
