My debt free diary

girlracer

Well if anythings gna happen, it will happen at xmas. Thursday night car broke down and i was left stranded, MIL had to tow me home, next day i had a look and a starter motor cable was loose which drained my battery, FIL got me and paid 4 a new battery which started the car bt the terminals were wrong way hence wrong battery so FIL took it back to change. Then today get a letter from travel cost people asking how much im claiming for and for what dates, im extremely peed of ive given this info 3 times now. Me and OH had our HB suspended, had to fill in a whole new form and get a letter from jobcentre, about what benefits we get. It took jobcentre 4 weeks to send this last time i hope they dont take the mick this time as i could without getting into more rent arrears. The rent department phoned me yesterday sayin i owed 179 pound which i know isnt true as it just doesnt tally up with whats on my online rent statement. so im stickìng with the 68pound then i wil ring when thats paid. Cant wait till tomorows done with, then i can get my house back Will drop HB form into council weds least it can be processed while i wait for jc letter. homebuy came, took 41pound from the meter. Hoping to get payments up in the new year, if i keep at the 41 i wil still be payìng it this time next year. And want to be debt free by June 2012

Thanks clippy_girl hope u had a good xmas. Xmas wasnt as stressful as i thought it would be actually, still i will be glad to get the decs down and get my house straight if OH lets me. Paid £38.31 to rent arrears i hate oddments lol. and the homebuy box has been fed a fair few pound coins to keep us in the festive period. Just have to pay vanquis this week and sort out these charges.. yet again.
Kids got some money for xmas so off to the bank wednesday after naylors have been. Then to the council office to sort housing benefit next payment is due jan 9th but doubt ill get that now, but should get it backdated, its just stressful.
Decided not to join any mse challenges such as sealed jar as any extra money will be thrown at the debt. Still will give this PAD thing a go. Going to try and start losing weight in the new year too.

I am ready to take the decorations down and put the house back together again too - I will try and wait it out until New Year just to keep in the festive spirit but the cards and tinsel are getting on my wick now
