caz, was that for this year or stuff about the last tax yr? I also need to update b/c DH made different salary plus I've been on ML since Christmas...so we have to wait for the packs to do it?

Mel, DS is excitedly awaiting his reply

The lodge looks lovely! Infact... it's now on my maybe list

Caz, I thought they could update income details at any time? Did you play up and say you were finding things difficult and couldn't afford food? For all the time takes, they do it there and then!

they said they couldnt take p60 details until the pack had arrived and as mine hasnt been sent out i will have to wait? i checked the award and it does state that as of this week we will be £50 down but i didnt expect it!
luckily i had transferred paypal funds over so we are ok but if i didnt have that we would be stuck!
aless you may be different with ML etc? give thema call and see how you get on! a warning though i was on hold for 20 mins?

They always do it like that, every year....most of the year you can just phone at any time, but to do the 'renewel' you have to wait until you have received your pack, then you can phone...Something to do with them not overloading the system so they do it batch by batch and once your pack has been sent out your file goes into awaiting renewel details status! Some tosh like that anyway....

I hope tax credits send me my stuff last, I CBA with their mammoth forms coming through the door. They can't just send one either, it's two or four or six, then you change ONE tiny detail and you get it all again. No wonder my kitchen drawers are a mess.

Went into town with Keira, ARGH she was a nightmare. Being gobby, moaning, whinging, kept wandering away in shops and then pretending she was on the phone to people but bawling out at about 1000 decibles.

Not taking her back in town again :eek: Well at least not when she is tired because she is a mare and I now have a headache.

Also thought I had lost stuff I had bought her for her Bday from Claires accessories, but after phoning, they had forgot to pack it. Phew!

Got her a nice cardi, and 2 dresses from New look reduced, so that was good. £4 on her Bday dress - Get in!

Clear !!!!!! hole house commences tomorrow, bathroom is a disgrace, the living ain't too bad, just the dining table never seems to get clear, ever!

Caz - Ouch £50 a week is a lot!

cazscoob

glad its not only me that gets 6 copies at a time! i have even phoned and asked why and they couldnt give me an answer lol!
i know £50 is what it takes to fill my car up so having to wait until they move their buts is crap! i know we were really under the estimate too so i am hoping for a nice lump sum!

Caz, my tc dropped by £40 for the last 3wks, but apparantly it goes up by £30 again as of Monday?? I have no idea why it went down so much as it was only because Kai turned 1yr old so should have gone down by maybe £10.....

Last year my pack came really quickly but one of the years before it didn't come till July!!!!

I alos suffer with being sent a million copies...what a waste of paper.

Told dh the Lodge got high approval, he was very pleased as I am normally the one who sorts out daytrips/holidays etc...but after the last disaster I told him I was leaving it up to him. Apparatnly we can have rose petals on the bed for £10 and a champagne and chocolate hamper for £35.

Afternoon all.. have read through to catch up and now forgot what I was going to reply to... I'm inspired by the break making though. I might have to [strike]bake some bread[/strike] weigh some stuff out and bung it in the bread maker later.

We've had a lovely afternoon playing in my parents garden. I left Izzy with them while I went off for my physio appointment, and I do'nt think she even noticed I was gone. I now have some exercises to do to strengthen my knees. One of them is that I have to stand on one leg! I feel like a bit of an old lady - it is like the exercises the physio gives to my grandad - he has to get up from his chair, sit down, get up again etc for 10 repeats.
