Hi Kerron7
Just popped in to say good luck with your diary0 -
thanks blue-bells
Bank is looking hideous, DH gets paid though tomorrow not that it will look that much better. Down to last £5 which i need to put in the car. Looking forward to paying some bills which is a first, got a long way to go though.
Hope DH gets his P60 soon to give figure to Tax Credits, hope it doesn't change too much else i'm going to have to rethink my plans for debt repayment.
To Do
Tidy downstairs
Take washing off line
Put washing on line
Put washing on
Lunch - Sandwiches/toast
Tea - Fish fingers, beans & mash

DH got paid an extra £98 yay, however tax credits has gone down by £115 a mth for us thats a huge amount. Hoping this will increase when i have given them DH p60 figure when it comes. Not sure why its dropped so much nothing has changed from last year can only think they have based it on estimated amount i gave them from 09-10, so we will see. Really wish we didn't rely on them but we do, so worried if we have a change of government they will be scrapped!
Have been shopping enough for 2 weeks, will only have to get bread, milk sandwich meat & a bit of fruit and veg.
Have paid Abbey today so £77 off debt!
To do
Nothing much i'm shattered today!
Will think about tea later
