I've had such a crap day! 1st my oh had me up all night coz he's got a cold n was coughing (i know its not his fault), i gave up tryin 2 sleep n got up, phoned the housing (as we are currently stayin between his mums n my mums), they have messed up our application n the long n short is that we have no hope of gettin a house 4 about another 2 years! Then i phoned the tax credits n was told we earn 2 much n can only claim ??20 a week! So now i'm homeless & poor, i'm only on smp n i earn more than oh so f**k knows how we earn 2 much! Sorry 4 the rant but i just feel like we're bein penalised 4 workin n we'd be better off & be offered a house if we gave up our jobs! Grrr this country! Sorry again 4 the rant, needed 2 let off some steam x

    hi sorry to gatecrash , i feel similar where the housing situation is concerned we have been on the waiting list here for 2 years and they have told us we got no chance for another 3 or so its really frustrating we live in a 1 bed house and got a 2 and a half year old and a new baby due in 4 weeks!!!........tax credits now yes there a joke do u and your oh earn more than 14.,500 a year? we worked out that if my oh doesnt do any overtime then by april this year we will have only earned just under the 14,500 so will b entitled to both workin tax and tax credits and will get over 700 a month but if i go back to work or he earns any more than he is now we will get 300 a month and thats to cover nursery fees for 2 kids which will be in excess of ??800 a month!!!it makes no sense at all does it i really hope u manage to sort things out soon xxxxxxx
