    finally got a call from ct1 they have applied to take money from my benefits, cars fixed today and car tax arrived. not heard from fonebank or musicmagpie yet. owe my mum and sister money at the weekend so will be skint again but they helped me out with the car which i needed to get done. still cant get rid of rabbits. so mad at provident. i asked for a another loan and i dont mind if its a no, its the fact that they dont tell me. GLAD IN A WAY AS MY MUM AND SIS HELPED AND PREFER TO PAY THEM BACK THAN PAYING PROVIDENT.
    so plan now is to pay off the credit card next week by as much as i can. doing ok with to do list, need to set up an ebay account just for a few niggly bits hanging round the house. Will do this soon. Just got a karaoke machine and some cushions to sell, my house is so decluttered now and it feels good.
    So to do list
    Clean back yard and take stuff to tip
    send of for replacement licence(20 quid)
    New living room door
    new door handle for kids room
    get birth certioficate
    Im sure i will add to this though.

    At college today, stripping engines, its a bit tedious but i am enjoying it
    on dinner break and have just printed off a budgeting loan form, you have to get it for 26 consective weeks, but as i came off it in october i didnt think i would get one, however they say they ignore gaps of under 28 days so im hoping i will be able to loan the money and pay the rent off and the cc
    however with my look at the moment i cant get my hopes up
    need to pay my car insurance tomorrow
    just fed up
    sick of other half too, always effing and blinding i never known someone to moan so god damn much
    anyway gonna grab a coffee, and head back and put my engine back together :)

  • provident havent showed their faces since i asked 4 the other loan, dont know why. Had a good week at college even tho the lads do my head in at times they do make me laugh with the things they come out with. I think my mum is going to help me clear my rent arrears. shes a god send. im going to pay her her back out of my child benefit and elg.Also going to help her with the garden as a thankyou. Least i will be able to sleep now.
    Passed an exam this week and got a paper test to do at home which is provong quite hard. Income support going to credit card tomorrow, im fed up with them, the minimum payment last month was £11 which i paid i got a text a week later to say i hadnt paid the minimum. Waiting for the statement to see whether they have charged me and if so its going to be another letter of complaint to them.
    Homebuy is due on the 15th feb, going to tell them i havent heard about the opitional maintenance cover despite 2 letters being sent. Hoping for a rent decreasein april so i can cover what will be left of the rent arrears after my mum helps me out, it was reduced last year from 79.74 to 77.
    If provident dont come this week i will phone them. cos cant be sure that my agent isnt telling them hes been but i havent paid.

  • Paid my sister £25 that i owed her. Got a text from provident saying he had been and needed a payment asap. Shame he didnt come last week least now i know that he can send a txt which he didnt do when when i asked for another loan. oh well. Checked rent statement online earlier still owe £260 so any loose change i get will go to the rent. Even if its just a pound. still got to send musicmagpie stuff and get to recycle shop.
