    VERY long time lurker................ Many congratulations, all that struggling when you were due this money means you have worked you a** to pay this debt. A great start to 2009 and your new life. Good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future I am looking forward to viewing your future success from afar. Onwards and upwards.
  • Thank you for all the kind messages everyone. They really mean a lot :D Still not decided what to do with the money. Was looking at a few cars (and basses lol!) last night and in all seriousness I think I'm going to put off getting a car for a while. I'm mainly concerned about the safety and reliability of a 2nd hand car (I've never had one go right!) especially with the girls.. and also running costs especially when I'm living on benefits until the girls go to school. (:() So I think for the time being at least I'm going to set aside the car idea as much as I want one.

    That's why I called up. She said that I was definately entitled to it and double checked it for me. :D

  • Excellent news then!
    Totally get it about the car..... I have an old car, and *touch wood* its only broken down once since I bought it (and before I had DS), but we are lucky that MiL/FiL/Dad are always local if we do break down, and we have a mechanic very close to us who is very reliable. If you and Ste can carry on sharing the car for now, then saving for a half decent one is a good idea.... in the mean time, bass shopping! :D
