I think I get mine around the same time every month :think: I'll have a peek - really need to put money in my account, I think I'm over drawn
only peeps who get it different are like single mums or something who can have it weekly

I've just discovered we're almost over our (£1.2k) overdraft I got the CTC back payment on 24th August but I've still not had any paperwork from them about it. Want the paperwork so I can get them to do it on this year's figures. Will phone them in the morning methinks..

Yeah.. could pay it off if I wanted to Not to sound flippant, but I seem to have money all over the place, just need to organise it all properly. Like I have specific "baby fund" money but I've been spending out of the overdrawn account (cos thats the one with the debit card; the others are savings accts) and not transferring it from one to the other to pay it back iyswim. Got £800 of my holiday pay from work this month and remembered to transfer it from mine to the joint so that should land in there tomorrow as a stopgap before I transfer it to the right savings account.. Just a matter of getting organised

Night ladies and babes

DH home and fed.

Just counted up all the change we've been saving comes to £64 - DH saves 1p & 2p in a giant whiskey bottle, we both save 5p in DD's Terramundi and I save £2 coins in my Terramundi (DH encourages the coins out with a knife instead of smashing them as they were both gifts)

So that's going to be paid into the bank and used as spends for DD whilst we're away.

ooh I find it hard enough to manage the 3 accounts I have! LOL
Have you heard from child benefit or had any?
I think we sent them off at the same time but I've not had the payments for Ed

:j just realised the WTC and CTC payment I got that worried me was actually a top up I think! We're getting a ridiculous amount silly government!

Elle - Tax credits are usually paid around the 20th of the month for me, 25th june, 23rd july, 20th aug I assume everyone gets paid around the same time?
