| i dont even have an overdaft on my account so we live of what we have and cant get anymore debt because we went bankrupt so as for buying a house we would find it very difficult and to be honest i dont think i would buy again with the hassle we had when we did buy our first house, so im happy enough to live in a council estate in my flat 
sorry for my last post i just didnt want to get slated again as i know some people can get the wrong idea with this sort of post but i just thought i should mention that i am not entitle to any other benefits except tax credits and child benefit | | | | Status: Offline

It was set up to help those genuinely in need and I don't think the right people always get the help. And when people who have NEVER worked and have no independent way of supporting themselves or no-one to rely on financially start talking about their RIGHT to children it does get my back up to be honest. (Again, NOT here but I've seen this arguement on other forums)
I'm pleased we live in a society that has these things in place but it's so open to abuse. And then the money doesn't go to those who need, like those who are blighted by family breakdown or genuine long term illness. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | No Dionne you are better leaving Kris, and working 16 hours!
My friend has 2 kids and is a single mum she gets 640 tax credits a month! Works for the Council earning 15k a year, clears 1000 on her own salary.
I keep saying to Dae after the next one, he's out!  |
