    What laptop grant?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Think that's the Cost of Education Allowance you're talking about. I got mine already - 'bout 2 weeks ago

    Really? The past 2 years it never came through until late October/Early November :-/

    Should I get onto my social welfare office?

    Every social welfare office gives out that grant at different times
