Just logged into my bank account........ they have finally sorted my tax credits for DD..... shes 18 weeks today!! :shocked:
They have awarded us a weekly payment of 61.74 which is there in my account....!!!:D

BUT.......


there is also a back payment of £1046.40! !!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!

*Runs off to dance round the room*


:j :j :j :j :j

Thats great. Is the weekly payment just for this year (ie will it be less next year cos its over a full year ?). It will go down a bit when bubs turns 1.
If its correct, and am not saying its not but you know tax credits, then enjoy putting it to good use!

Hi

All i have done since i last posted is stripped Ds2's bed and put some washing out.:o

I need a kick. I should go and hoover Ds1's room behind the bed so it'll be all nice when i move the bed back. I also need to take all the paint and stuff out of his room.

I also need to do my afternoon dailies , my list another 2 loads of washing. Oh and make some pizza dough and potato wedges. And dye Ds1's curtains.

So why am i sat here doing nothing.

Johanne i'm really pleased for you about the money it couldn't have come at a better time for you.

Right quick lunch break and then back to the girls room for final HHC. Have given it a really good going over, pulled everything out and hoovered. Found 2 mouse droppings in there on the bookcase but no signs anywhere else , mind you all the noise the kids made no wonder it didnt linger in there:rotfl:.

Right 13.45 till 2.15 kids room. Then will do some filing.
