I am sick to death of people i know and strangers(!) making comments about me being 'at home on my behind all day whilst i get benefits'.....excuse me.........even if i did it would be none of their business but it makes me even more mad because....
I DONT GET BLINKING BENEFITS ANYWAY 
Fair enough when i was on benefit then they had a point to an extent and i just used to take the stick i got for it....even though i worked from when i was 14 till i was 8 months pregnant, with only a 6 months gap when i first moved up here,so i feel i paid enough tax to justify recieving benefits for 2 years so i could be at home with Jack.
When i started seeing my new fella i moved him in with me quite quickly for two reasons-1) because i love him so much
and 2)because i didnt want to be seen as a benefit cheat even though he wasnt even living with me/giving me money he did come over nearly every day.At that point ALL my benefit stopped.I informed the benefit people the day BEFORE he moved in-which i know most people dont bother doing.
I was on the bus a while ago ago and a women was sat near me and Jack with her lad....she had obviously just been shopping for new shoes for him but he didnt like any of them and he said 'mummy i want ones like that boys got' pointing at Jacks boots to which she replied 'you cant have them,Clarks shoes are too expensive sorry babe' and muttered '
shes obviously on income support'!!!!
i just got off the bus....i didnt know what to say to her cos i was so mad.
Another time i went for a brew at the local surestart centre with Jack and an old couple said to me 'must be hard surviving on benefits and being a single mum eh?!.....erm excuse me
IM NOT EITHER!!!!
People should not just assume.
Sorry.......rant over.
