First off we have Vanessa mother of 2 who hasnt worked for 15 yrs. Turns up with her 2 children and her Mother and they another family memeber. First thing I noticed was, all the family had had a go on the same hair dye must of been a job lot. Vanessa was sporting a big icky on her neck, they sent her out to work for a day granted they found her the smelliest job going but she lasted 2 hours. Her mother then gave off a list of reasons why she couldnt work ( whilst puffing away on cig) and when the welfare officer turned round to her and said they were was nothing to stop her going out to work to support the household and the then the Mothers reaction I nearly wet my self laughing.

2nd we had young Ashley who wants to be " a Rapper" lives in his own flat never had a job. works on his music, the equipment he was using must of cost him a few bob. The made him go back to his mothers, and welfare officer gave her his money, she made him work for it. He told the welfare officer this and now this had made him tired for last few days, when Ashley told the welfare officers this little gem I thought they were going to wet laughing.
