    Slow day 2day, and ready for bed.
    Exam 2mw
    Looking forward to my job interview on 28th, really need to get it !!!

    still awaiting award notice for my jobseekers, getting into a right mess with rent, and housing benefit wont domy claim until i have that document fom DWP. grrrr,.
    phoned DWP again this morning to say still hadnt received it despite them saying on monday they had sent it out there and then and i should have it by wednesday.

    anyway woman on the phone says she sent me one and should haveit by tomorrow, i really hope so, or im going to be fuming.
    Im hoping i wont be on it long, hoping i get the job.
    Going to phone co operative bank tomorrow, hope they can open that account for me.
    If not, then im out of options for bank accounts.
    Well bed in twenty minutes or so, i am knackered .

    Nan nite xx

    How annoying is it when people tell you something and you know that it's wrong!!
    Good luck with sorting out the letters/payments!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,

    Really slow boring day today. kids getting on my wick, really hoping this housingbenefit lark is sorted this week, cos i feel like i cant breathe atm. all i am thinking about is how much rent arrears cos of the dwp teking the !!!! with getting a bloody award notice out to me.
    i cant relax till i know its sorted out.

    my other two letters i recieved on saturday ... one from wescot collecting for severn trent water, for a previous address, £152
    And Dollar financial, who i have not the foggiest who they ar, so i have emailed them asking them for the exact name of the company that passed the debt to them.. that one stands at £750

    still paying council tax from a previous address, in fact two bills for the same address
    one is standing at £300 the other is £412
    Making monthly payments on them, after i emailed them bout getting single occupancy discont of 25% as i was single at the time.
    Really annoyed with superdrug ... used one of there hair dyes in feb, did a strand test and followed to the latter the instructions
    but i ended up with burns to the scalp and hair loss, cost me £30 to have my hair restyled( took loads of the length had no choice my hair was a state)
    had to have time of college, and was literally in tears as even after my hair was done it was coming out lods when i combed it, sffered allergic reaction to my neck and back still got a massive rash on my back.
    what do superdrug do ? send me a £30 superdrug voucher, so i have emailed them telling them its not good enough and maybe looking at legal action but need to get some advice, and go and see a dermatologist
    only good thing this week is might be finishing college earlier than anticipated, which is good news cos the people there are really depressing and i feel like shouting at them.

    anyway, hopefully by friday, i will have some good news about my rent benefit,
    im off to look for some jobs now, but hopefully i will getthis job im going to an interview for on 28th april :)

    Its been a while,
    Would love to say i have been ushed of my feet and havent had time to get on here, but unfortunately, its just because i had problems with my internet dongle

    Anyway, paid some of te wescot bill, only owe £50 now, so will gt that paid monday :)
    Not establisehed who dollar financial are yet, did email them but they havent replied.
    i presume they are acting on behalf of someone, and if i believe i owe the debt i will pay it, but very strange that they havent said who the are collecting for ?

    Had a fight to get my jsa today. 4 weeks with no money !
    wouldnt mind if i was just someone who sat on there !!!! but i have to be able to get out to find a job and travel.
    anyway job interview next wednesday, my tutor at college says i hav a good chance of getting it, because im female and companies they are largely male dominated, went to show equal oppurtunities
    but i want to get the job cos im damn good at what i do not cos im female :(

    nothing else to report atm, working on getting them old council tax bills paid of.
    Have a good evening everyone
