    Sally - that's pants....give them a call and ask to spread the payments, they can't take it all in one go when you're on benefits surely. :confused: Has DH rung up to find out what's going on about the re-newal?

    Have you checked on the entitled too website to make sure the council figures are correct?

    DH's sick pay ends on the 27th....he spent 83 mins on the phone to the ESA(?) people today....some of the questions were just amazing....they needed a start date for child benefit....ermmm when DD1 was born...no - they needed a specific date....it was 14 years ago !!!!!!! Not sure what we'll get - if anything so next month we will be eating tinsel and licking wrapping paper. :rolleyes:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
