she has an i pod
and if she should ever have to go on benefits would those shares be taken in account of her earnings
she is training to be a social worker at the moment

I'm not sure. The value of the shares would be taken as part of her savings / capital, if she were to sell any then that would be taken as income.
If the shares were of fairly low value and she didn't sell any during the period she was claiming, it shouldn't affect things too badly but don't quote me on that..

life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a well preserved, perfect body- rather we should skid in sideways, vodka in one hand, chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, screaming WOO HOO! What a ride!

in the arcade where red rum is (or used to be at least ) there is a little gift shop they sell lovely little glass squares that say all different things I bought my neice one for graduation they are lovey, worth a look in the shop at least they have lovely gifts in there. ( warning not a good shop to take children in though !  ) |

I've always believed that fresh fruit is a healthy, surprising and healthy present, last year I gave both my neice and the little girl next door melons for Christmas. You should have seen the look of utter surprise on their faces when they unwrapped them, I just wish I could have taken a photo and posted it on here.

I would think you were trying to imply something if you gave me a couple of melons  I think it would be cheaper to buy a gift than food these days ! |
