Morning A random 225.00 has arrived in my account from tax credits today,no idea why, I get paid every 4 weeks and its not due for another 2 weeks and its a completely different amount :rolleyes: They never explain how/why they do what they do so no idea why its there, but I will phone up later and find out. I'm always reluctant to spend it as I expect them to ask for it back at some point :rolleyes: Still, always nice to think about it and I may get my haircut next week if it really is mine to keep

Ooooooooh exciting!!! Fingers crossed then....!!;)

Wish they'd decide they owe me some money!!!;)
I had a letter from them today wanting the year's earnings, so I used Jan payslip, added on Feb and March and gave them a ring - it's lower than last year i think, my earnings...so you never know, they may owe me a few pence:D

Evening all Tax credits have sent me a load of bumph today and it looks like they're increasing my payments by about 25.00 a month :beer: I just wish I could trust them that they know what they're doing :rolleyes:

At last its the holidays :j :j We've got various bits planned in, but tonight will be a completely vegging night on the sofa as I'm shattered I must must must sort out the banking tonight or tomorrow too, and then work out how I'm doing for this month. I have decided I will use some of the extra tax credits money for my hair and the rest will go in the mortgage pot

According to the calculator, June 2027 has now gone and May won't be far behind it :j :j

Morning I've attempted to sort the bank account this morning and I think I have 195.00 left for the rest of this month after all the bills etc. This will be broken down as follows: petrol 20.00 (tank is full at the moment), food 65.00, 2 x nights out already arranged 50.00 (both are meals and drinks), 60.00 general stuff, ie. doing stuff with ds in half-term.

Today we're going to my mums as my brother and his family are down for the day so should be a cheap day today I have already paid for ds swimming lessons this week too.
