Aww thanks all and thanks so much for all the offers of support. I am mostly spending today listing ebay. I have ironed all the shirts and done a general clean and tidy up, plus I am working my way through drawers and generating yet more ebay listings!

I have also heard about a bonus we are getting at work, as myself and the husband work for the same business we shall coin it.

That will be awful handy for Disney in February.

My daughter spilled a cup of coffee upstairs and it rained coffee in the hall.

Other things of note, I keep getting 160 quid bills off edf energy. I am with eon and on a prepayment meter.
They are threatening me with debt collectors....

:j great news on the bonus :T

Have you called edf, i had similar with npower & rang them and it wasn't even for my house cheeky beggars !! all sorted now but i never got an apology from them!

Skint_but_Optimistic

We have rung them three times, and three times they have actioned it. My husband rang tonight, as it is making me really unhappy!

I was all for paying it, just to make sure I wasnt having more bad credit file info..

Ohh no skint, don't be paying anything for that reason as you can always follow up with the credit agencies to get anything corrected if you need to. That hard earned money should go to kicking your debts or on yourselves

Chin up gal

January seems to be going ok so far.

Money wise - the childminder stated she was putting her fees up - que blind panic. Anyway this means I qualify for tax credits rise, and the husband has said he will investigate childcare vouchers.

I could maintain the status quo which is working for my boy, and not suffer financially.
This is good.

Skint_but_Optimistic

hmm no sign of the child support agency money... due on 8th of the month.....

Skint_but_Optimistic
