General Chat

How silly people are to assume, that just because people don't go 'out' to work or do the same hours as they do , they are idle or workshy.

and how arrogant to imply that someone who is at home for whatever reason , does not 'work'...most housewives work a b***** sight harder than many 40 hour a week workers, I know because I have been both ( and at the same time lol) ...and Carers who are 'at home' 24/7 work the hardest of all...

a few minutes, or even hours snatched on here does NOT mean someone is workshy or lazy...
it may be done before, during or after work, or attempts to find work, or by someone who is retired, or self-employed and can multi-task lol.

well said Rose,.

I totally agree.

I think the people that truly think like that are in the extreme minority Rose tbh.

I think the comments were made to provoke a reaction and cause mischief.

Monumental FAIL lol xx

Rose yet again wise words

WELL SAID

totally agree hun, and just because people dont mention if they work or not doesnt mean they dont,

some people keep there personal life, just THAT, personal,

so it cant be used by people to twist n goad,

Muffy, although I totally agree with you - I think that the reaction they got was exactly what they were after!!!!

To have failed none of us should have replied at all.

Considering the person who made the comment doesnt even live in this country I dont know why you even bothered answering no one has to explain themselves to anyone on here no one.

It wasn't the reaction they were after Sal...nowhere close.

It actually became quite a chatty friendly thread in the long run..despite best efforts by one to turn it x

Yes Muffy is right. It was said to provoke, that's all.

Ah well, I am off, have a great Easter break everyone xx

Rose,

Still trying to get my head around what provoked such an attack on people that use these boards.........how people know so much about other peoples circumstances never ceases to amaze me!

For the record, I am at "home" .........have 2 loads of washing on the line changed the beds, cleaned the bedrooms and lounge, typed several invoices and quotes and finished off my VAT return as well as answering many phone calls...........hope I have done enough and its only 11.30am!

I have existed on benefits for many years due to injury in a motorbike accident . I get Incapacity top up as I am deemed unable to work . I do in fact work very hard at keeping my family going. All my housework is done at a leisurely pace ( I know full well my own limitations haveing been forced to live with them for neigh on 20 years )............I pop on and off here during the day , it is a good way for me to stop myself from physically over doing things .

Ann you put me to shame, I have 1 load of washing in, not even washed or dressed, no beds made no dishwasher emptied but I have fed the cat, do I care NOOOOOOOOO I do I care what anyone thinks NOOOOOOO lol

Nothing did Ann, she came wading in guns blazing in a direct attack on one person, who isn't even online, and ended up making herself look a fool. thread deleted, new one up, made herself a bigger fool. nuff said LOL

I know what I do, and I don't have to justify myself to anyone, let alone someone who doesn't even live here. Comments like that are two a penny and come along every so often. Part of the package.

Sitting down now with a coffee before hitting Tesco full on! Amanda It never enters my head how often and at what times people post on here, of course over the years you get used to the same names appearing.

Its nobody's business anyway, I see it as a sideline to my genealogy and I for one enjoy the chat boards, like my OH enjoys his pint at the local!

Hayley.........Good on yer! I have the same mentality and if it wasn.t for the business side of things i would quite willingly slow down to a snails pace!!lol

Damn I missed something and I am a stay at home idler and wastrel!!!

The fact that I work fighting for disabled peoples' rights, run a home - well as best I can, research legislation for two new businesses, offer support for anyone who asks for it on here (in confidence) whilst battling my health demons must mean I should be excluded from any social interaction. I am assuming that was the gist.

Well *ugger me sideways.

Sue x

whoever it was what said it..she/he can have my benefits..swap them any day ..they can have my wheelchair and small benefit ..i just would like to walk and get out ..what most take for granted ..

I've ALWAYS said...those that know me KNOW>..those that don't ..don't matter. xx

some people opinions matter
