Why don't Rosie and Keith take housekeeping from Mickey?? Im not saying that it would solve their problems but 20 quid a week would certainly help them out. When he offered to give them money they would'nt take it??

He is an adult and has a job so he should pay his way! Ive always paid houskeeping and so has my brother.

wouldn't really help that much, Keith just needs to swallow his pride and learn to read and write.

There are sooo many questions and soo many answers on this Money Troubles Storyline. Mickey should rather get those 3 in 1 jobs, rather then the market.., but it really wouldn't solve the problems, and it wouldn't just go away..

I find it a bit tiresome and it's so infuriating when characters act like that. I pay housekeeping too, it's only fair, unless your family is extremely well-off.

I started a thread about this last week because it REALLY winds me up. Ridiculous that they're so broke. Why won't she ask Mickey for money?? And Demi would get money for the baby.

Well YES, but I mean it wouldn't be quite as essential.

Another thing that bugges me is Keith and Rosie saying that they can't get full time jobs because they can't afford childcare for the baby. Well firstly she's not their baby she's Demi's, secondly as someone has already mentioned Demi would get her own family allowance for her, thirdly there are special schools nowadays for Teenage mothers so they can continue their studies. They have a creche so they can bring their babies with them. I know this for a fact because a family friend of ours is a teenage mother(she's 15), she goes to one of these schools.

If they have them in North Wales then I can assure you they have them In London! And they don't have to pay to go there either!

One of them coould get a job anyhow, but yes, there would be help from somewhere for the baby.

I think I read something about Rosie feeling very guilty about not being able to afford cough medicine for Darren. I'm sure all Rosie would need to do is go to the doctor's and explain the situation, he should prescribe it for them, even if it's an over the counter medicine.

The brat has the cold or flu... all he needs is paracetemol (packet of 16 for 24p or something) and plenty of fluids (water from the tap). He doesnt need any special medicine.

At Darren's age he wouldn't have to pay for prescriptions anyway!! What do the researches at EE get paid for anyway????

The reason they don't take money off Mickey is pride, pure and simple.

Lol. I had the flu a few weeks back and I had to settle for Paracetemol and a lot of puking to make me feel better.

I am finding the storyline annoying. Did Rosie just wake up one morning to find that she had no money?

Why on earth did Rosie feel the need to steal a tin of Chicken Soup?? If you've ever had full blown flu you don't feel like eating at all, I lost my appetite for about a fortnight.

Did she really steal chicken soup for someone with the flu?

I really though this cliche had been long over done years ago and vanished from our screens... :yawn:

Rosie went to the Mini Mart for some medicine for Darren and didn't have enough money for some. She went home and told Keith that they had run out. Then Darren said he wanted some chicken soup and comic . So when Rosie went back later she stole two tins when Stacey wasn't looking.

My mum tried to feed me Chicken soups when I had flu and it made me feel ten times worse!

So they're too proud to take rent off Mickey, but not to proud to shoplift

chicken soup cures everything, Mark Fowler would still be alive if he ate some chicken soup once a week.

She didn't tell Keith that she'd stolen the soup. I must admit I find this story a bit pathetic, surely the social wouldn't expect them to starve???

I agree, he's just a lazy sod who doesn't want to work. OKay so he can't read or write, he can learn and until then he could work in a factory or something.

They obviously have no pride when they cheat the taxpayers though.

Rosie. You can get that Bird Flu from Chicken soup.
