when i commented i was not trying to be obnoxious....the poster stated her case, said she had 3 kids one which was 4 months old and the sword of damaclees hanging over her head.....i lost my home twenty years ago, and believe me good manners are quite low on the agenda. you cant even think straight....just paralysed with fear of the unknown....she did say in her original post any advice greatly appreciated..... obviously this is not enought to feed some egos....hey ho. this site is invaluable to thousands of people....some remeber at the beginning to thanks, some at the end...does it matter so much when they are in such dire straights????

Lea how rude are you!!!!!this forum is for help....not grovelling thanks.....the sender said help was very much appreciated.....what more??????? Makes the site look wary!!!shame on you

hi tawnyowl its marie who has the butty van...sooo glad to hear you have turned a corner....the north west is still grim...so many being laid off etc.etc. and it seems to be getting worse.... most days its not worth me turning out, but i do cos thats what we have to do. people are spooked at the moment, but everyone, without exception, is becoming more and more angry with this government and the way this country is being run. the working class shafted yet again. take carexxxxx

hi guys sorry but my family and friends seem to think im as knowledgeable as ell en because i like this site. simply, a friend of mine had arrears with a housing assoc. got a hearing for possession date but cleared the arrears, the final paymant made in cash the date before the hearing....she phoned the assoc. saying that she had paid outstanding balance, had the receipt saying paid in cash and would post a copy of the receipt to them....they still attended court the next day however and got a suspended eviction notice on condition the balance was paid and also rent due....she wants to know where that leaves her but i dont know......technically, well no, factually, she didnt owe any money when the judgement was made. she still has receipt......any ideas???? many thanks
