    You're telling me! Can't even begin to imagine any more dramatic highs and lows. lol
    The girls are good.. luckily they're young and naive enough not to be affected too much.

    Hope your paperwork troubles get sorted out soon!

    Morning all. Tax credits day today but I can't have the car to do my food shopping, so going to have to bite the bullet and shop at our local co-op where everything costs 3x as much as ASDA or tesco. :rolleyes: I've got the girls this weekend and no car so not sure what we're going to do... Ironic thing is I recieved my tesco clubcard voucher this morning.. :rolleyes: lolwill have to think of something fun.. but I'll be damned if I'm getting the bus anywhere... lol! My idea of hell personally.
    Yesterday I finally called up the house insurance and water to change the direct debit details so all my bills are officially switched over now. December will be an interesting month! It'll be the first month I'm officially going solo, with my own money and own bills... but daunting especially as it's the run up to christmas.. _pale_ So needless to say being VERY frugal at the minute and saving every possible penny. Not doing too bad. After tax credits went in today have £291.41 of which I've got to get my essentials. My bills at the moment are... (as close to accurate-estimates obviously)

    Gas and electric - £68.50 (Recently revised :rolleyes:
    Phone, broadband, line rental - £16.72 (based on next months bill - will go up a bit)
    Mobile - £35 (recently reduced)
    Egg - £20
    Pet insurance - £6
    Contents insurance - £6.36
    Tax credit overpayment - £11
    water - £23
    = £187.98

    Not including rent or council tax... as they should be paid in full by housing/council tax benefit when it goes through.. *fingers crossed while touching wood...*

    Bit daunting thinking that it's going to be christmas when my first on my own financially month happens... so really need to be careful and keep an eye on everything. Not going to let anything ruin christmas for the girls. I know they're too young to understand really but it's more in my head I suppose. Just want to do right by them. We'll be ok though, we always are. :)
    Hope everyone's well! I'll stop rambling now! lol

    I am still a bit unsure as to what to do about the rent and council tax... at the moment they're still down as going out of Ste's account as normal.. I don't know whether to call them and explain that I'm claiming housing benefit and to cancel the DD or what...
