This is extreme, however perhaps if he hadn't bought and Aeroplane he could have had a few extra bob in his pocket. Buying a plane, kind of defeats the object when you are short of money

I'm not trying to come accross as a scrounger, but my taxes are taking more of my pay and its getting to a point where I'm getting into serious finacial trouble. I can't downsize my home as I live in a two bedroomed home and we have children

I'm on the right code, its just the amount I pay. If I break down a days pay...............I get my pay, get taxed on the days pay, I then pay to put petrol into my car to get to work and then buy food for my sandwichs that I take. I have to look smart for my job and so I need to buy smart clathes.............this in itself takes my salary down to 50% of my pre tax days pay. From the remaining 50%, I must pay the council tax, the mortgage and all my other insurances/other outgoings. I'm not being overtaxed. however I'm barely left with any money

Have you used these Serapis, or do you know someone who has? the extra money will really help

Is there a company (not the job centre) that can advise people on what benefits they can claim or are entitled to. How does the tax credit system work, as you get additional money if in work. Presently I work full time, however the taxes are strangling me and so some additional money would help me pay my taxs and other outgoings such as council tax etc...... Working extra is not an option as I am on a salary, plus my working pattern is flexible. I’ve also seen some threads where posters claim they earn more working 16 hours (after claiming tax credits and other benefits) than a someone working full time, how does this work? If this is possible, I wouldn’t mind dropping back to a 2 day working week and getting more money. I’m not sponging, my taxes are almost at a tipping point and I feel some sort of benefit, or me working for less days per week and earning more could be the way forward. DO any companies specialise in this kind of advice? I can't be taxed any more otherwise I will go into debt working full time :help::help:

Both the boys have got barbie dolls and stripped them naked, they are a playing an odd game where the 2 dolls are chatting to each other. "Have you done a poo in your pants today?" "No, I not got any pants on, but I did a poo. Did you do a poo" "I went to tescos and did a poo in a trolly" Although its mildly funny, the 2 nude dolls. Its been going on a little long, the boys think its highly funny though boys will be boys I guess

As we were queuing up in a Supermarket in Sheffield (I won’t name the supermarket), I was with my 5year old and his friend (2 five year old boys) and as we entered the queue there was a few different magazines such as “Zoo”, “Letch” and “Nuts” on the front cover of each were naked women and their bare bottoms. Obviously in this months edition was a “bare bottoms” competition, where the ladies bared their bottom and won a prize for having a bottom. Now I’m not a prude, however why are these magazines at the eye level of a 5 year old and not on the top shelf? Needless to say, the two 5 year old boys thought it was highly amusing and were in the queue making silly comments such as “I need a poo poo, look at my bottom” or “I done a trump, and this is my bottom, my bottom does trumps” or “Look at my smelly bottom, I need a poo” Surely a bit of common sence is needed when placing pictures of bare bottoms? ideally not at the eye level of a 5 year old boy. If I wanted my boy to see a bare bottom, I'd take him to Spearmint Rhino and not the Supermarket

It does make for some amusing incidents, one chap went for a flyer today, legs up in the air. He was posing as he was walking, mobile phone in his ear and talking loudly when WHHHOOOSSSHHH - he slipped on some ice, feet in the air. We did giggle as he hobbled away, looking somewhat silly

These kinky office partys where people (apparently) yake their clothes off and get off with each other...........apparently in a newspaper, there was a guild on how not to get an unwanted pregnancy as a result. If any woman attended one of our office partys, then believe me you would hope to god that none of the blokes start getting their kits off, or being kinky and as for getting off with work colleagues............well, if you find geeky, weedy office guys your thing then please take them home with you. Us Ladys/Girls can then hit the town and perhaps (accidently) gatecrash the Firemans anual xmas party :love:

I would definatly recomend the classes ran by "getting fit". There is a new one at Crookes http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=528627 In comparision to a gym, these classes are far far more effective, and save you a fortune in comparison to gym membership. When I went to to these classes, I saw a real improvement to my fitness, plus my tummy went in and my legs became slimmer. I only had to train once a week as well, to see these improvements

Great to hear there are more classes on others days, for anyone who wants to get fit and in shape, these classes are a must and they really do a fantastic job. I stopped going the class on Tues because my work patterns changed and couldn't get and so signed up to a gym. In comparision for getting in shape, the gym is pathetic and my fitness has without doubt gone downhill. This option also saved me an absolute fortune, and my fitness levels shot up Great to hear there are more classes, one class per week made it difficult. Count me in for this class at Crookes, looking forward to it. Highly recomended

How much do these sessions cost, and do you have to attend 3 in a week?

Someone told me that if you miss your target weight, if the leader finds out that you had not followed your diets, then you can be in trouble. Is it true you can be forced to stand in the corner with a red nose on as punishment ?

Work 9.5 hours per week. Hallibut, the fishy one can sometimes cause a stir
