Well ladies
I have to say I am upset at reading that,I think you are both really nice people from your posts etc..so was suprised at reading the bickering it wasnt pleasent reading but then I chose to read so my fault
Dionne dont call yourself thick,you are not at all,no-one should call themselves thick.
As for child benefit it is a little extra that we all get and it helps for whatever purpose people use it for,I personally leave it in the bank and I think it gets swallowed with bills etc but then I get Chloe everything she needs so whether its from the CB money or OH's wages I dont really care.
Beanie is right when she said it is the tax credit's that need addressing (it wasbeanie wasn't it?) the CB is what I said above.
I have scrubbed loo's out before and took in ironing for cash,I have a lot of wealthy freinds and I have cleaned their houses too for cash (taking Chloe with me) that was hard (taking money off friends even though earnt)
I have needed money believe me and I would do it all again in a flash if I had to. And I have good qualifications but have been over qualified
Myself and my OH earn blody good money but when your mortgage is over a grand a month lol it soon goes but then that is our own fault for getting into debt and having to up the mortgage.
I think I have prob stuck my nose in too much here but hate arguments they upset me dreadful,you have both got across what you needed and are great mums both of you. Life is hard but it is what WE make it and thats all I have to say.
Take care girls.
Dionne by the way nightall or something like that are good for a nights sleep and they are herbal.
