i feel for you not having a job but would u employ someone who is going to have a baby in a few weeks? I wouldn't
Theyre in business to make money afterall.
I get what your saying, and i dont know tbh, it depends on how much I wanted that person for the job, one of the points i was trying to make though is that im trying hard to get back into work..
There will be some who get the £500 sure start and use it for crap, buy there other halfs beer, use it for things that are not baby related, i really dont think everybody should be tarred with the same brush.
I went from eating out at lovely restaurants, going to the pics once a week, shopping whenever i fancied etc to being one of the unfortuanate millions+ folk who have been laid off and now live off no frills food with a 2 for 1 treat once a month at brewsters...
it makes me so sad that i have ended up like this and feel such a failure as a person and a mummy
