I think I'm gonna eat more, drink more and smoke more as I know I'll have no problem sticking to that!
lol lol
I'm too fussy, I've got lamb this year as I don't really like turkey or chicken.
As for pudding my mum has bought a hugeeeeeeee christmas pudding knowing full well that I don't like it!
So guess I'll be eating my way through a box of celebrations or some other chocolatey stuff that's bound to be on offer.
I only posted to give my opinion as have many others, I'm not here to get into a slanging match about that opinion as we're all entitled to one - enough from me for one night!

They can win by educating their children in such a way that they would not run riots on the streets when their parents are out working, which is what any sensible parent would do would they not??

On the other side, it's illegal to leave a minor unattended/unsupervised.
My 11 year old gets home at , there are no after school clubs to go too, I changed my hours to accommodate this, but a friend of mine was told if she reduced her hours she may as well find another job!
Whilst I appreciate what you are saying, peer influence s greater than parental influence, particularly when the parent isn't there. Drugs, alcohol, crime are much more apparent in families where parental guidance or control is missing.
If single mothers, the only good (in most cases) influence in many of these childrens lives are out working where do you expect the guidance and education to come from?
In all honesty Cali I don't have an answer for that, all I can say is that if I were having such problems with my child, and god forbid I ever do, then it would be a choice of what was more important my job or my child and I know who would win hands down.
Yes it may seem irrational to say that I would give up a job to make sure that my child was not running the streets but it's a subject that I feel very strongly about and it's a sacrifce that I would be prepared to make.
But under this new scheme, if you did that you'd be entitled to no government support!
How do you expect to live?
I would do what plenty of others already do, find a job that would fit in with my home life or change my hours.
I'm pretty lucky to be employed by a company that allow working parents to reduce their hours and work between school hours to fit in with their child.
Needs must.

Most of the "nice" kids who end up in trouble have sensible parents. They teach and educate them but they do not always do as the parent wishes............then the papers and others then berate the parents for not keeping an eye on them and where were they.

Then the same could be said for any parent, this doesn't just fall into the "workshy single mother" category
I'm only 24 so school wasn't too long ago for me. I did go on a number of trips abroad with school such as France/Spain/Belgium.
However the trip that will always stick in my mind was a free trip for all of the first year students to get to know one another.
We went class by class and spent a week camping in a big farmers field about an hour away from our town.
It was great, it pissed it down all week and the camp got flooded out.
Never had a better time, and we all got to know one another really well.
Who needs to spend hundreds on a school trip when the same can be achieved by having a cheap and cheerful camping holiday.

People on benefits (not just single mothers) get fringe benefits too, such as their rent and council tax paid for them - this is a big plus for them being able to sign on and claim as a lone parent.
Not to mention that they can work for up to 16 hours a week and still claim, although I would like to add that any part time earnings are taken into account and stopped out of the benefit (if declared)
I'm a single mother and I work full time, I want to be able to say that I worked damned hard to put a roof over my sons head, clothes on his back and food in his belly - unfortunately not all single parents have this mentality.
As Jaymar mentioned I would much rather be at home watching my child grow up and learning new things everyday but I can't.
I'm glad that the government has now realised (after many many years) that while they can get away with it, women will keep on producing in order not to go to work.
The new law coming in is going to reduce the age of the eldest child that a single parent (not all lone parents are female) can claim for, and this I think will be a big help. The age will be twelve, then in a further two years time it will be ten, and then reduced to seven within the next two years.
It is about time that lone parents realised that they cannot claim forever just because they have children, it is not a god given right.
Tax credits now help out a working parent/guardian by paying upto 70% of childcare costs, if this isn't one of the best incentives then I don't know what is.
As far as I'm concerned if one single parent can go out and get a job and pay their way then so should the rest of society.
Try is still a member of SH, he still has access to the forum so why shouldn't people be able to post their thanks for him to read!
Bloody hell I can feel a trip to the steam room coming on.
Yay Yay Yay!!

Sassy happy birthday sweetheart and thank you so much for all of your hard work into making last night a fantastic social!!
I've just got in, and am sooooooooo knackered.
Was great to put faces to names last night even if it was just to say hi to.
Big big thanks to Ambie & BBB2006 for putting up with my chatter, for untold laughs and being a great couple, oh yeah not to mention being my drivers and supplying me with copious amounts of vodka.
Really enjoyed myself and can't wait to see people again.
XxX
We are soooooooooooooooooo excited, Ambie Dave and myself will be leaving shortly.
Hope you all have a safe journey and see some of you this afternoon and the rest tonight!!!
Much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As above I think that the list is now closed, the post has been up since July folks and the meet is only tomorrow - far too late to be getting any money to Sas.
I for one am so excited and can't believe that there is only one more sleep!!!!!!!!!
God yes this is addictive, I'm on here most nights looking around the forums and in the chatrooms.
I've been on here 3 years and think I only really started to post this year...
To be honest I think it becomes more addictive with the more friends you make, as lets face it if no-one spoke to us we wouldn't be on here as much if at all!
Every so often I take a week out and return to "the real world" and I think that does you the world of good especially when things kick off and you feel the need to get away.
I was excited in September, and I still am !!!
