emailed ct2 today to get an up to date council tax statement of how much is owing. Had a letter from housing benefit to say ive been overpaid by £142 so gotta pay back £10.20pcm. still waiting on the loan, been told i should get it between the 6th and 9th may. hopefully my cc will be paid off this time next week. £82 of student finance will probably be another 2 weeks yet, need to work out what im going to do with that. not long left at college now, going to do my cv when im back at college. Awaiting my cat to have her kittens as well. seem to be taking forever.Weight loss 3stone 4lbs0

Been a while, where do i begin? Well in £418 rent arrears as op hb took £40 off my rent in may june july the £20 in august. by september it will be full payment, but it doesnt help i already owed some rent and now im fretting again. Paid my cc off twice but managed to spend again. i swear next time i pay it, im cancelling the bloody thing. Still owe to provident.
And im pregnant due in january. been so tired and stressed hasnt helped. ive applied to the credit union for a loan and for a ccg but havent heard anything yet. I owe just over £1500 for everything, which i know isnt alot but its the rent arrears that are getting to me.
Did my pttls course and they werent joking when they said intensive. Had one assignment back that ive got to do by the 25th august. Car tax is due this week £118 for 6 months bloody robbing gits. Anyway hopefully ill get some good news about the loan or ccg soon. But the rent will be the first thing to go. Still best not get my hopes upWeight loss 3stone 4lbs0 -
Trying to get my !!!! in gear. Just emailed ct2 about outstanding amount, it comes out my benefits but i like to keep on top of it. Tried logging on to my rent account to pay some online, just a small amount but every little helps right?
Had to email them to get my password.
Got turned down for a community care grant, just have to hold out and see if i get a credit union loan applied for 1200 which would clear my rent arrears and provident. Have drafted my assignment i got back, just got to go the library and email it off. So plan for this week is
await credit union decision
pay what i can off rent
send assignment off
Not much but if i get that loan i may be able to chill abitWeight loss 3stone 4lbs0
