    Taken kids to the park today and again i walked, yay for me. Its good being up there actually as i feel me and OH can talk better and more openly about alot of things. FIL sold his car so OH will get some money on weds. Need to pay the rent of £10.20 this week and naylors £5. Next week i will definately be putting it back up to the normal £16 payment. Hopefully cap 1 card will be with me before weds. Going to have to pay vanquis over the phone. £10 will need to go to loans at home. stupid OH taking out more !!!!!! when im trying to get sorted. Not heard about charges yet but i suspect that will takes about 2 weeks anyway.

    Scan on tuesday at half 2/ Shall find out if its a boy or girl. I know the next couple of days are going to go really slow. grr

    OH brother now moving on 4th so hopefully MIL and OH will have a car boot not long after that

    had my scan and im having a boy!! Got my cap 1 card and paid vanquis £148.91 bringing my vanquis down to £130 which i hope to repay by the end of september. Still waiting to hear about bank charges being refunded. Having insulation put in on 5th september and radiator rehung on 7th. Im keeping up payments on my rent account. Making small payments to provident, havent heard from homebuy yet r.e reduced payments, think he may come next week though. Got a cot from the auctions. It was origanally from john lewis so for £40 its a bargain. Epsecially as FIL paid for it lol

Had a letter from vanquis who are looking into charges and nationwide have sent me an income/expenditure form which i have sent back. Got to get kids some shoes tuesday. There back thursday bless them. theyve been soo bored. Got to pay £10.20 rent arrears, £20 naylors, £10 loans at home and make a payment to capital one.

  • Loft insulation and radiator done. Waiting to hear from deya about delivering yellow pages again. OH and MIL tried doing a car boot today but it got cancelled so they are doing one sunday hopefully. Had a provident manager at the door wanting me to pay £12.50 a week and even though i told them i couldnt afford it, he kept pushing, so im paying £2 a week and they can lump it, all my other creditors have been great.

    Rang healthy start and they have my application and its being processed. Not heard about the discretionary housing payment or bank charges yet. If i get my bank charges back from nationwide of £45 i can pay this off naylors seeing how they have been so reasonable about me paying less each week. Waiting on credit card statement too.

    Got another scan friday, hope my baby boy moves this time, lazy bum. And as i promised i havent used my simple be account.

    Also 2 ccjs have come off my credit file this month
