Right just to clear this up! I'm not a dole scrounger! Not at all. Since leaving college I've been on Jsa once for 3 weeks due to me loosing my job as the agency want paying all my wages and refused to pay what they owed me. I had kept document of what hours I'd worked for them each week. Then went to the place I worked to look at what hours they had me down for working to make sure there hadn't been mistake. They told one a different amount of hours I had written down. Then rang agency they told me a complete different amount. So i had to go cos in was looking into too much and turned out I was not the only person wing ripped off.
Me and the mrs have always worked during and after leaving college. Yes i agree the government make it too easy to not work! There's always jobs out there! I'm hoping to stay at iceland a little bit longer as I'm hoping a job for home delivery Will come up at another store as ill come out with a minimum of £200 a week part time going up to £300 a week. Also I am going to start training for duty manager so I can be left to run the store which is more money. Also training for home delivery supervisor. £150 is the basic of what I earn most weeks it's more.
The mrs is talking to her boss about more hours which will help out majorly. She even said that she'll look for something full time but I don't want her to leave the job I know she loves just for us to have more money.
We don't plan on moving till about summer time anyway so gives us plenty of time to change things.
But to be honest it's not like we're sat at home doing nothing with our life's living on Jsa and popping out babies! We both work! Might not be ideal but that's what the housing benefit is there for! We are working and we may need that little bit of help! But it doesn't matter anyway they're going to be scrapping it anyway!
I agree with what toms saying about teenagers popping kids out its ruined it for a lot of us! People that work should be awarded for working. People that are on Jsa should have it taken of them if they ain't found a job in 6 months.
Chris I understand what your saying accidents do happen. We can tell your trying your best and ejjoying every moment of it. Lives tough you just got to embrace what you have got!
With me doing home deliveries i see a lot of people that don't work always on Jsa yet they can afford for spend £10-15 a week on shopping. They have a nice flat decent car and spend another £30-40 on food shopping. It's shit for people that do work.
Only reason I work part time is Becuase I got sick of agency work not knowing where I am different places all the time work one week none the next.
That's another good thing with us. We're planning on staying in the town were at simply Becuase we both work in Eastwood so we could walk to work and downgrade to smaller car for cheaper insurance. Or if needed sell the car.
Also rent around us for a 2 bed terrace is between £400-450 PCM. And a 1 bed flat is between £350-400.

Rent: £825 pcm
Council Tax: £118 pcm (Will go down from April)
Gas/Elec: £213 last quarter (Although was closer to 3.5 months)
Virgin Mediaz: £26 pcm for 6 months, then £36
Water: £25 pcm
TV License: £25 pcm for first 6 months, £12.50 thereafter
One of the big deciding factors for us was to pay a bit more for rent (area/flat is very nice), and be closer to work to cut down on fuel/train costs.
