Moondog - that's the reporter that said those things - just pointing out what I should imagine were some pretty obvious things to the naked eye

The same article says that

"Louise is not inclined to blame the government for her difficulties. She is grateful for the money she gets every week and doesn't think her life would be much enhanced by increased payments."

please, all mumsnetters who think this women is doing a terrible job - try living on her income for 4 weeks. No cheating - so you can't start with a well stocked storecupboard of food and masses of clothes you don't need to replace, or pop round to friends for a free meal. And it needs to be 4 weeks so you can start to experience the debilitating effect of living on a cheap diet and how it saps motivation.

I'm sure she'd enjoy your income for 4 weeks

GypsyMoth · 24/03/2009 20:03

Clubbing? What's that LOL?! Oh yes,vaguely remember! In my day it was full of smoke tho, now at least it can be smoke free. So not as bad as I first thought.

Yes,well,after discussing jobs and childcare recently, I gave it some more thought. Just have to see if I get an offer. Lone parent advisor said he could do a worse off calculation. Getting off benefits would be excellent!

DSM · 24/03/2009 20:10

Its funny, crazy lady, as it makes shit all sense.

FAQinglovely · 24/03/2009 20:11

DSM.. your post dont make "SHIT ALL SENSE"..lol, you mean 'does not make sense'! basically illegal immagrants tend to have no choice but to commit fraud, especially if they find it hard to be employed illegaly. I am sure you did get what my post meant, but you being an instigater, wishes i will retaliate on your verbal abuse.

ILOVETIFFANY.. thankyou.

FQLOVELY.. I went to an 'over 25s' club. Clubs are smoke free & i also do not drink. I thought it would be nice to do something,that i have not been able to do, on my journey of trying to concieve. As i am now pregnant it would for me be the last time i would be able to go out like this with friends, for awhile anyway. What is so wronge in that? Tommorrow night i am going out for a meal. On the weekend i am going to the horse races. Would you consider this, to be inappropriate also? Please tell me, maybe i am missing some usefull advice.

DSM · 24/03/2009 20:33

Ha ha!!
LOVE IT! I am being corrected, when I made perfect sense, but anyhow..

'basically illegal immagrants tend to have no choice but to commit fraud, especially if they find it hard to be employed illegaly'

This, makes no sense. Seriously.

And, why were you unable to go to these over 25's clubs when TTC?

FAQinglovely · 24/03/2009 20:44

yea I don't get the not being able to go to clubs while TTC either

and what sort of fraud do these illegal immigrant do? Would you care to elaborate??

OP posts:
GypsyMoth · 24/03/2009 20:47

Maybe she was up to other 'things' LOL!!! The concieving bit! She'd need to be around for that!

Actually don't think clubbing is so bad. Like mizzi said, no smoke or alcohol. She'll be wanting her sleep soon enough.

mizzidee · 24/03/2009 20:52

DSM..Is your name fqlovely? I wasnt talking to you was i? i dont talk to squares that want to put me on the naughty step for a few spelling errors.. go over to the clomid threads if you really want to know, why most people do not feel like celebrating, that they come on ther period every frigging month. DUMBO!!!!! you should change your nickname to 'DEAN'..lol & if you dont get this ask your children if you have any that is(more like they f*CKED OFF)

Erm.. yes, I believe you were talking to me.

What on earth are you talking about, most people don't feel like celebrating?

Don't get the DEAN thing, sorry.

And no, my child hasn't 'fucked off', thanks, though I do think that is extremely inappropriate given the situation you claim to be in, given that you don't know anything about anyone else. Extremely inappropriate.

mizzidee · 24/03/2009 21:01

so you do have children then?.. non of my business by all means.

DSM · 24/03/2009 21:01

Yes.

mizzidee · 24/03/2009 21:10

look the word DEAN up in the encyclopedia or dictionary. That will explain what i mean.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 24/03/2009 21:12

poshwellies · 24/03/2009 21:13
