signing on
My GF has been made redundant, and she will have to sign on at the end of august, she will have to get a housing allowance.
i tend to spend most evenings at her house, but someone told me that i could only spend 4 nights there a week or i'd have to declare myself a resident, which sounds daft if i pay for my own place too.
does anyone have any experience of this?
i will have a look at the relevant webasites but i imagine the info on them wont be great.

Hopefully she'll find some work by the end of August, still a fair bit to go yet. Been made redundant 3 times myself, not nice (specially the first time it happened) but just have to be positive and I hope she finds something before Aug
So the government expects me to pay for her rent? what do i pay my taxes for, when i'm supposed to help out the jobless from my own pocket? what a fucking joke. :-D
Anyway theres lots of time yet, just under 2 months, thats long ! Its like she expects not to find any work ! She 'might' find a decent job soon with better pay perhaps and then its all happy as larry.
But theres no way someone on the dole could get housing benefit when their fella lives with them the majority of the time and is working. I mean surely she would move into yours instead ?
If you break those rules then her benefits may be stopped and she may have to pay back some benefits... Be careful, the benefits office can be quite strict and nasty about all this.
Best thing to do is go into the local Jobcentre and check with them. Usually, most of the people in the JCs are pretty decent to talk to, at least they are where I am, :)
They will be reluctant to back-pay anything she is entitled to.
Schools? Hospitals? Police? Fire brigades? Libraries (book houses)? Roads? Pavements? Cheese? Take your pick - you can only choose one!
which if thats the case, then i might as well find a new GF, cos i'm not gonna be able to go back to being on my own at the weekends.
i never knew that, i wil get her to give the CAB office a call.
...the Human Rights of convicted felons.
I never touched her!
sounds like a right palavour, specially for her, she wont have as much for travelling money. unless i should start giving here an allowance, which i guess is illegal too.
But you were convicted though? :D
Good idea, go for an ugly one who has a very good job, you'll be laughing then.
Look.
She came at me!
I tried to turn away, but she was too fast!
And do you have any photos?
Yeah, ditch her. She deserves some good news like that after losing her job. :)
HAHA!!
Yeah, this forum is missing a Rule 1
:lol:
quite far, 15 quid return on the train. which i spend everyday (well a weekly pass) but thats her dole money, which would last long i guess.
gah i don't know who to be angry at more the government or her for wanting to do a job she is qualified for rather than going for some shitty office job.
What is she qualified to do?
i would never break up with her, i'd just pretend i'd been killed or something. just get my mum to give her a call.
mum 'hi kelly, listen myles has just been killed, don't bother coming to the funeral cos there isn't gonna be one, there wasn't much left of him after explosion, anyway gotta go.
she's an angel my mum
fuck knows, she told me once but i that was ages ago, so i can't really ask again. its something to do with learning, currently she is running learning course for kids at a museum, she was trying to get other jobs in a museum.
Torturer! Imagine poor Kelly having to stifle the sense of relief.
I'm confused by your lovelife, i thought she was a nurse or was that the ex ? Or was that a girl you worked with who you were just 'friends' with ?
she's not a nurse, i've never been out with a nurse, i used to go out with a physiotherapist. i do work in the NHS, which is where the confussing is prolly coming from. i am 'friends' with some girls from work, but they aren't nurses either.
you should sign up for my monthly newletter, you get all the mile gossip, fun mile facts, pictures of mile out and about in the local community, and competitions, like the recnt one where you could win a trip to the cinema with mile.
not only that, but by getting a subscription you get a special badge that says 'freind of mile' which you can wear, but it will also get you a 3% discount when you visit a local heritage site.
Go with this option.
You could then "leave" her some money in your "will".
I tried to sign up, as soon as i said i was a bloke i was refused entry to the fan club as its females only.
Weird though as most blokes in Canal Street, Manchester have your fan club badges on.
LOL!
Be careful. There are some people on this board that might be offended at that!
NOT ME! OR MY IMAGINARY WIFE!
Or her lesbian friends - which we have parties with. All the time!
I'M NOT GAY ANYMORE!
You should have said you were a sheep, or a small bovine animal - you'd have got GOLD membership.
