    yes I get an allowance, I believe I have approx 399 left to pay for this current tax year for the CT, that is why they've set it as 133 so that it is paid off

    That comes to £952. Do you have enough food to last you until next pay date? Enough Petrol etc. School meals?

    I've also had some unexpected cash problems as my husband stole some money from my account which hasn't helped, I just want to get myself back into a managable position with my money without suffering too much from the companies I owe money to, however, each month gets worse and I'm not sure how to put it right

    luckly I don't need to drive to work, so that isn't a problem. I've tried to stock up the cupboards with food and freeze things so should be fine and unfortunately for them, they don't get any ''treats'' in their lunch boxes, but they have food..........sorry for the mistake, tired I guess

    You are going to have to write to your creditors and offer them a token payment of a £1 this month, as you are short by approx £140. They will not like it, but they cannot have what you haven't got.

    Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time right now. With regards to your husband stealing money from your account have you changed accounts to stop it happening again? it sounds horrible.
    It sounds like you've hit a bit of a bump in the road but hopefully you will get back in control soon.
    Good Luck
