Doing The Right Thing But Need Advise

It is about living smarter rather than working more hours. Although the odd car boot sale or survey etc, could be counted as work. ONe OP enjoys wrting reviews and gets £100 cheques for her "work".

So priority is mortgage, CT and utilities.

One option is to do a store cupboard challenge on the old Style Money Saving forum. You list the ingredients of your cupboards, frdige and freezer and the crew try to help you plan a few weeks menus using what is in store with the minimum of purchases. Would help tide you over the salary problem.

Does the company not offer any advanced payment though?

Did you get Working Tax Credits in your previous job? Just wondered if you might be entitled to a run on as they often forget.

Also

Or it is the end of the tax year, can you get any sort of tax rebate?

Do you have PPI you can reclaim?

aaxsabian

aaxsabian

could you tell me what ppi is

Gemmzie

A pity, was hoping you'd get the four week run-on as you've left employment. Not sure if they pay that if you've been overpaid.

PPI is insurance on loans, credit cards etc.
