I couldn't agree more with your comments about SS, although they are far too well paid for their own goods! It does seem the default position to cover up their own incompetence and negligence is to lie and then accuse the client of failing to engage/being over sensitive etc <BR/>I think the only solution is extermination! <BR/><BR/>Cas: It's always good to hear when DP works, it's such a good principle for us even if the reality doesn't often match up<BR/><BR/>Mary: I can actually understand Steve's reservations. For myself I know feel that any benefits I might get are so far outweighed by the sheer destruction social workers cause to my life every time they get involved that I never want anything to do with them again. But, like Casdok says when Direct Payments works it is great. I hope it does for you<BR/><BR/>Lou: If I don't use the explanation at this appt I certainly will at freak clinic later this month so I'll keep you posted ;)<BR/><BR/>MsO: I have never forgotten and certainly never heard worse than your DP applicant who was a paedo. Classy no? mwah x<BR/><BR/>Cogi: I'm really sorry to hear that happens to you too. I don't know what position you're in but I can't recommend the debt management charities enough, saved my life quite literally<BR/><BR/>Spleenal: You're not bald! I expect you to have a full head of hair by morning when of course you will be 'managing' <BR/>Like you I felt the work experience excuse to be utter bullshit, but hey, what SS don't want to listen to in person can now be blogged. Revenge is sweet!<BR/><BR/>MK: Big bro, crap it may be, but it still made me laugh! xBenefitScroungingScumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939136229593231935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-73048559174231865492008-09-06T11:52:00.000+01:002008-09-06T11:52:00.000+01:00Brown envelope came in the post this morning.

People who don't know what they are doing, and have no inclination to actually do anything besides gossip about Eastenders etc etc with their desk neighbor. The poorly written (bad grammar and spelling) letters we get, often full of lies and half truths just confirms this.<BR/><BR/>Makes me all ranty, but alas, no idea what to do about it, modern society seems hell bent on making sure the undeserving are OK putting the decent people at their mercy.<BR/><BR/>:(<BR/><BR/>But yeah, stare away baby ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-11980237643534164162008-09-04T22:52:00.000+01:002008-09-04T22:52:00.000+01:00Oh I think you need to use the butt plug explanati...Oh I think you need to use the butt plug explanation, just to see the reaction on the face of your consultant!Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444757419149336359noreply@blogger.com
