Colin, i agree with Tony... dont worry about it. i can't imagine it's easy being on the dole and to be honest he must have been saving an awfully long time to save for Bali.
I've been a single Mum for years now and i've overheard comments that just make me feel ill! I've even had a woman at the shops complaining to me about "all these single mothers spending all their money on alcohol and clothes". bottom line is she didn't know my circumstances and i didn't careless what she thought.
you know that old saying... someone elses shoes
