Bookie, just a thought, but have you opened a bank account to have your JSA paid into? Do you have any credit (cards/loans etc) with your main bank?
As long as you can cover food, mortgage, council tax, you wont starve or lose your home - can you pay interest only on your mortgage? Or do you already?
Mortgage is interest only at the moment - £396.
I heve a mortgage protection insurance thingey which will give me £250 after a month.
Gas and electric £145. Need I go on?
I is doomed but what the heck. I have friends and family and I don't have to go sit in that shop tomorrow.
Do have the dentist though. :eek:0 -
No, bad planning on my part hun. Car tax, car insurance and breakdown cover all had to be paid this month. DS will need uniform for new school, both kids need shoes etc. There's just no end to it. As I said, none of it a surprise. We'll get through it, but the summer hols might get a tad boring

but my little man dan dan doesnt need uniform as he goes into 6th form.0 -

A month ago and I could have helped you with the book! Ross and Wilson?
But the shoes are soooo comfy! I miss them. They did pong though. A mixture of feet and urine.0 -
