Yet again the goal posts are moving ...

Wages paid into the bank would be the same as being paid in cash is what people were told.  i.e. the value would be the same.   Does this mean that these employers can now be sued for in appropriate marketing?  I'll test this next time I get cold calls from people saying I was wrongly sold insurance for a loan I took out.... I have only ever once had a loan for anything... a student loan which I paid back over 5 years out of the child benefit.  (I am excluding the mortgage (deadweight  fr) as I have always seen this as an investment rather than a liability.)
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

I thought this thread was going to be about you still being pissed Tipsy, although,  I suppose in a way it is.
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
