Come on baby LIGHT my fire!

[Mouseface]

Hello.

I'm Mouse and I've managed to lose 5lbs in 2 weeks!!

This is a thread for those who want to shed some pounds, keep 'em off and spend their time MNing talking about nowt exciting how to eat more healthy foods.

Everyone is welcome!!!

Come me the other LIGHTer lot......

mouse - £53 a week, that's terrible

double - shoot all exs in the head whether or not they're benefit cheats works better for me

ive seen 'jk tackles estates' 'jk tackles knife crime', i'm waiting for 'jk solves middle east conflict' or 'jk takes on the taliban'!!

saf - hmmmmm has julia smuggy mcsmug roberts in it, not sure i could take 140 mins of her. let us know whether to avoid or not, and have a fab time x

Watching JK with nemo on my knee. No real nap. woke screaming

I'm watching JK as well

you've come to the darkside

FFS.

I am sitting on my hands after typing this for fear of ranting about benefits on our weight and diet thread.

best bit for me was 'there are jobs sitting down, but i wouldn't like to be sat down all day' cracked me up.

Followed by -

If you didn't get £300 every 2 weeks, would you have had 2 kids?

Answer - no.

You don't fucking say.

and 'why should i get some humdrum job?' err well.....

Its sad though because by showcasing such twats they give ammunition to the Daily Mail brigade.

Still can't believe that £1700 disposable, it can't be right, they must be including rent in that.

Anyway who's with me on petitioning for 'JK takes on the Pope'??

I'm with ya!!

They don't pay rent, the rent is paid for them. As is their council tax.

They don't see the money, it goes straight to the council or Housing Association that the house is owned by. Same with the council tax, straight to the council.

So the £1700 pays for their car, food, clothes and utility bills.

She said food was £100 a week for 8 soon to be 9 of them, 5 dogs and a cat.

And they had a big car so the insurance was very pricey.

Bless.

There are 16 Cadbury's Dairy Milk teacakes to a packet. Guess how many I've eaten.

I wish I could quit my job and get given £1700 a month. I don't think DH and I put together get that much.

And we have to pay the mortgage and council tax out of that!

12?

Nope.

see i thought that mouse from what she said but it cant be £1700 disposable, dp is watching it on skyplus, and if you add up what she says its around £1000, so I think that £1700 must include rent/council tax etc.

I could live with that

It's just sad that they dont seem to know re contraception, I mean seriously no one moves in with a woman with 6 kids and gets her pregnant within 3 months on purpose surely? You'd have to be fucking insane.

Shit my monthly shopping is probably about £3-£400 and there's only 4 of us. There again if I actually ate the stuff in the cupboards I wouldnt need to shop for the next 3 years. I horde like Double

Bitter - we don't get our mortgage paid or our council tax. Funny how some categories of the unemployed do and some don't.

15. you must have saved one for me.

miitz - love you sweetheart, have popped in post for you xx

Brian - REWIND IT!!!!!

She says or JK says that they GET their rent paid for them and their CT.

They also run a banner across the screen that says her £1700 is for gas, utility bills and car or some such too.

Trust me, rent and ct do NOT come out of that money. She even said so herself that they don't get to see those two benefits, it's paid direct.

Don't make me come over there and wrestle you woman!!!

Nope.

Only 6 !!

i heard him mouse but my brain is refusing to accept it as the truth. he says it to them and i think they say yes because they dont understand the question. Thats the story Im sticking to!

Thats the only way my sanity will not combust, so im believing it!!!!

And if I dont tell DP that thats how it is he'll probably refuse to continue working 50 hour weeks. I don't bloody want him under my feet all day

You are pricelss!

Just finished two more brooches. (from the Bitter collection)

He got back at 2pm and I said 'thank god, all of my childrearing duties for the weekend have now ceased'

I think he might be emotionally abused you know. He says 'can you make a bottle up please' (because hes holding the baby) 'fuck off im mning' was my response

he's going to dump me soon isn't he??

ROFL!!!

Brilliant. I may try that here if I ever tire of being married.
