I could not eat a fresh tomato without salt! I don't think they have any taste otherwise.

Never put salt on potatoes at all - I had a jacket spud for tea last night and just had butter on it.

I do like pickle, but not on a jacket spud, and I find too much cheese makes me feel sick these days.

I just rarely have salt with anything.

Love butter though!

I'm just butter on a jacket spud but cooked other ways Potatoes need salt.

I'm with Skippy, I'd rather starve than eat a tomato and that includes tinned varieties too x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I like tomatoes, but they do have to have salt.

We don't have salt with potatoes at all, regardless of how they are cooked.

Jacket spuds just cry out for butter![:D]

He should be able to claim for a smoking allowance.

Might not be enough for his needs, but you can try

Is there not anything else he can try?

Each to his own I suppose Paul.

You can use your contingency for whatever you like, and some firms do give a smoking allowance.

Moneypenny

You should remind your IP that both CCCS and the CFS provide for a smoking allowance - and therefore why are they saying that you cannot have one?

as ive said in my posts, my IP firm didnt allow for loads of stuff, ex: hair cuts, newspaper's, school trips/swimming, sports/hobbies/ent, smoking. we were told to take it out of the food/household budget, and my daughter's out of school activities were not allowed, we had to cancell her Martial arts and piano although she still does dance,we were gutted after taking her through to purple belt, and she is a natural at piano, but we had to make these harsh choices, because we put our selves in a finacial nightmare, and we didnt get the right advise before taking on our IVA. My daughter has lost the most, and we caused it.

But we are hoping to sort our circumstances out and go forward.
