It has been great knowing you.

But….I am off.

I plan to give up work and claim benefits for the rest of 2015.

The Good news is that I will be back in FTW in 2016, and by 2017 my Authority will have gifted me my council house, which is worth £150.000…

I never thought i would be able to put the knowledge gained by Rightsnet to such good (and profitable) use.

Thanks.

Anybody would think you’d been reading about some completely insane policy kite-flying of some sort….

Client…..What do you mean I get to keep the house after 1 year in work?  No repairs done for years, roof leaking, rewiring due, new boiler needed, communal areas to clean.  Is this really a reward for a minimum wage job?
