Will feel a lot better if IU can keep this house. Need to have a chat with DH (H) about it.
Hugs MOJT - have just heard the news...drop me a line if you want a chat... :A
If you contact TCouncil they will be able to give you some great advice (they helped me sort all my debts out into manageable payments before now) but you actually need to know what you can/can't claim for and benefits you are entitled to.
Speak to these people - I know you're not in debt, but they will know all the help you can get and what you can expect to pay/receive for various bits. They are lovely people and will really help you get your head around things. http://www.cccs.co.uk/ It's somewhere to start...

My balance transfer has gone throughNow my debt free date is 42 months - August 2012

I put a first coat of paint on the back hall with a view to getting the shoe rack and coat rack back in asap. Not sure I like the colour but never mind. I need to do a first coat in the cloakroom as well but not sure how much longer I can ignore the boys for - there is a break even point where they do more harm than I do good IYSWIM.
The house smells and looks a lot better downstairs but I need to do a lot of work upstairs before the weekend.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
