Just curious as to if you got yours from DWP (PIP etc). When? And what amazing thing you bought with it? Grin
Mine came yesterday and I bought electric and gas top ups, chocolate and painkillers.

Fuck the cheese - I want to know why SimplySteve has decided I’m not female??

BlancheM · 15/12/2018 00:11

Earned your stripes as what Edwin? A breathtaking hypocrite? How do you reconcile your outrage at someone on a low income spending however much on chocolate and your expenditure on luxury items?
The way you're talking is incredibly patronising, so much so that it has to be deliberate.

BlancheM · 15/12/2018 00:13

I think Simply might have picked up on your patronising, mansplainy-like comments

MaryDollNesbitt · 15/12/2018 00:14

But I’m being vilified here so will leave you all to it.

Off to beat the proverbial shite out of cancer patients with your Stick 'O Shame for causing climate change or something next?

Christ. Shock

Christ - I’m going to self refer to the Daily Fail. They will have a blast with this thread.

Tiredmumno1 · 15/12/2018 00:16

Why won't you answer the questions?

Don't ask me to repeat, go and read them yourself!

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 15/12/2018 00:18

Sad I did repeat and no response.

Tiredmumno1 · 15/12/2018 00:20

I know Gina.

It's ridiculous Hmm

Spikeyball · 15/12/2018 00:20

I love a cheese toastie but lumps of cheese don't do it for me.

BlancheM · 15/12/2018 00:21

'Please summarise your question' the arrogance 😂

Tiredmumno1 · 15/12/2018 00:21

Tired I’m a working mum of two young kids. As are many on this site. DH leaves for work at 5:15am I’m up at 5:45am and I have 2 very small kids up and out by 6:45am. Nobody gets home before 7pm.

I’m a carer for my schizophrenic aunt who lives 300 miles away and is currently in hospital every week after falls. I’m in a new job after 2 yrs of being unemployed post redundancy.

My mum and sister are NC because they are both narcissistic bitches and my DH is a struggling alcoholic.

And yes, I still volunteer for a homeless charity.

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 15/12/2018 00:30

I like Gina, it makes me feel young and like Gina g.

EwItsAHooman · 15/12/2018 00:30

Next question:

I'd like to know why it's okay for you to spend vast amounts of money on luxuries but it's not okay for somebody to treat their child to a panto trip or eat some chocolate.

Ginandsonicscrewdriver · 15/12/2018 00:31

It’s my turn to have a question answered Sad

EwItsAHooman · 15/12/2018 00:31

It’s my turn to have a question answered

Blush

Gina G first and then mine please.

Samcro · 15/12/2018 00:32

by the way you can't be a carer for an adult who lives 300 miles away.....I know this in......rl

Womantheonlykind · 15/12/2018 00:32

Do you know that £10 has been £10 for at least the last decade, inflation be damned!

EwItsAHooman · 15/12/2018 00:32

Will, mine and Twisted's seeing as we both want to know the same thing.

edwinbear · 15/12/2018 00:32

Reported this thread for bullying.

EwItsAHooman · 15/12/2018 00:34

We're not bullying, we're trying to understand your point of view. You can't come and make a goady statement about what we should be spending our money on if you're not prepared to explain the thinking behind it.
