Hey everyone. Today I have:
- Check online banking, one token payment cheque has been paid (I'm setting up a DMP with CCCS, but waiting on various bits of paperwork). However the cheques I have paid in haven't cleared, I hate waiting for cheques to clear >.<
- Printed out the 'record of monthly expediture' from the CCCS website and recorded our spending this month so far
- Printed out our budget sheet from our Debt Remedy Book, penciled in income dates
- Transferred the £2.67 'VSP' money into the online saver
- Discovered that since CCCS round up figures, I have now 0.88p to also transfer into a different 'VSP' (this is the pot that holds surplus budget money for those months when there happens to be 5 instead of 4 income dates, or rent weeks, should build up for just such months)
Tomorrow goes like this:- Walk to town, passing local shop for OH to pick up an application form for a vacancy there
- Take broken bits of jewellery to jewellers for a scrap price, I think someone said £7.60 is the going rate at the minute, and with about 20g, that'll clear some rent arrears
- Check online banking (I know those checks won't have cleared, I still like to check)
- Photocopy the letter to send to creditors sheet
- Buy a book of stamps (I was hoping for a NSD, but this does need doing asap)
- Contact CCCS and see if I can delay my start date, since I'm still waiting on paperwork from the council/wage slips [which the council are waiting for, before they can send me the paperwork CCCS need, which the council won't get until 9th June at the earliest, providing work have them in the office on that date])
