    I might go to bed. Should I ring BOI in the morning...

    Before you go, I sent you another PM for Equifax's address.

    Because the Government say you have to have a minimum amount of money to live on.

    That amount is £87.96 p/w. As my Carer's Allowance is only £50.55 this makes up the difference.
    I take it you get DLA too then?

    No just Carer's Allowance and Income Support. Rubbish really. I have £87.95 p/w

    In April it goes to £94.40 p/w which is a little better, but not much. :(

    I'm quite poor really. That's why I got alot of defaults etc because I couldn't afford to pay my creditors back like I could when I worked and everything piled up on top off me.

    It's sorted now to a degree. I've paid most off now.

    I despise Duffy.

    My Parents adore her, I think it's them forcing me to listen to it in the car. :eek:

    Suppose its not that bad as you live at home and all. Be worse if you were living on your own.
