    Lizzie-sorry to hear your troubles...when is your next payday? Can you call any of your creditors and ask to make a late payment or defer it a while?

    I get paid again on Monday, and it's not a case of paying creditors so I'm safe on that. I think it's just really got to me getting it all down and seeing how little I actually earn.

    Its scary to think we have such little leftover for emergencies or actually having a life.

    Were the same Lizzie, once bills are paid theres not much left :(, Hopefully now we are of prepayment meters we will see a big difference, and hopefully my catalogue will be paid off by the end of the month so that will be a spare £10 a month.

    well i don't seem to be gettingf very far on my chores, mum rung to go to asda with her, (that was 3 hours taken from my day)

    I managed to finish the ironing and put it away
    got new hoover and hoovered Nathans room
    made my bed
    Put 2 loads of washing on and on the line, just put another in the machine (don't know where it all comes from !!)

    Still need to unpack case and put it away,
    move settees and clean behind (kitten has had an accident)
    clean fridges
    tidy diningroom and living room and wash floors
    make tea
    get some stuff on ebay

  • Afternoon or is it evening?

    I've spent most of the day on the phone to IT; persuading them that my name is spelt right and that you pronouce it Kerry not Sherry!

    I'm exhausted Claire reading what you've done today.

    Lizzie - sending lots of hugs your way.

    Snaggles if you're still lurking hello!

    What's a nice way of asking my LL if he could email me my tenancy agreement so I can use it for LHA and to get my council tax exemption certificate? (if I don't get it by the end of the week I mean)

    Also, managed to get Vodafone to knock £5 off my bill cos of the 500mb cap being put in....makes me happy.
