Nightmare....just lost my post again! :mad:'
Morning!
Thanks for starting the thread. I can't believe it is thurs already.
Anyone know what to do about debt collecting letters for a previous tenant? do i just ignore it until they come round when i will obviousy tell them he doesn't live here anymore? or should i b ringing them? Dont want to get involved unnecessarily. He has had 3 different ones this week alone :eek: I fear balliffs will b round soon :rotfl:I'll try and have a look on the board later
Dawn - i agree with Fay. Keep the OU if u can for times of need!
Plan -
1/scratchies - done
2/online banking - done
3/pay rent - i am obv the only HA tenant that pays rent weekly. They keep trying to make me set up a DD. I don't want to as I dont want to pay monthly as it isn't good with our cash flow as OH gets paid weekly. Surely I can't b the only one who pays weekly?
:rolleyes: They'll get their money. And they keep saying I haven't claimed any housing benefit - they dont seem to understand that i'm not entitled to any as per the council! They just think disabled .: benefits. They are such patronising idiots. :mad: rant over! Anyway....
4/work hours
5/cleaning list
6/sort budget out TODAY!
7/plan for next week
8/odd job list
9/food from stores
10/DS at play group - mum took him today.
Hope everyone has a good day - hope u get your review today!!!

Hi everyone. Housebound today as T is very poorly - possibly he has the dreaded swine flu.
We are off to the docs later to find out. Lots of love and cuddles for him today.
1) No work for me, obviously, so no petrol.
2) Several loads of hokey cokey, with more to come I bet. Even his beloved Postman Pats have had to be de-puked.
All hanging outside to dry.
3) Checked banking and quidco, and have made payments to CCs.
4) Have done an online survey.
5) Will readvertise some items on Netmums to continue raising money for T's new bed.
Can't think of much else! See you later,

Check online banking
Will concoct something from the cupboard/freezer for dinner - couldn't be bothered to go food shopping this week so have been using stuff I already have
Torajw, some beauty therapists work from home or will come to your house- my sister works in a salon but also does evening appointments privately and charges much less. I'm not sure where you'd find out about it in your local area though - word of mouth, leaflets in newsagents window, local library, etc?Debt at LBM (17/10/08) £5727.61 Debt free date 31/08/090 -
