    Hi everyone
    Quite pleased with the shopping trip with sister yesterday, spent 50.00 on clothes for DD as lots if her stuff is getting either too small or is too summery.

    Today's list
    Visit dad
    Check bills acc
    Call friend

    Go to boots

    Rant alert!!!!
    I am sooo annoyed! After my lovely positive morning post I made a phone call that has hacked me right off.
    Yes it's about money, yet again. To cut a long story short it
    Has gone from me being 260.00 per month better off to being 130.00 worse off and with a debt of 1100.00!!!
    !!!!!! how??!!
    Que many angry phone calls and I'm still no more clued up, then I took a trip down to the CAB the guy I saw there is utterly bamboozled, he made a phone call and still no clue.
    I have an appt to go back on Tuesday armed with some more info that may help.
    I am feeling so angry,

    Housing benefit! Its such a c0ck up and none of it is my fault!
    The guy at the cab said he will try and get it wrote off as he doesn't see how I owe it at all.
    Went to boots in the end to cheer myself up and use the vouchers so got a primer and a loose power for 12.00. Got 2 more vouchers aswell!

    So all in all a terrible morning and a medium spend day
    Hope everyone else has had a much better day X x

  • Hi Yellow,
    A few years ago (when I didn't check my accounts every day), the council didn't take their DD payments for council tax and then 3 months down the line I got a snotty letter saying I owed them money. I now pay them by SO but its an awful feeling.
    I don't get when it is their fault how they can make you out to be the one who has robbed them and then make you pay it all back !!!!!!.
    Keep on at them and fingers crossed you'll get it sorted.

    Oh i hope it gets sorted, I hate anything like this hanging over me!
    Especially when it's there mistake.

    On a positive note pad of 25.00 to capital one.
    Working today, plenty of petrol in car so shouldn't need to spend anything. Looking forward to trying my new makeup out (I had a dream it all went horribly wrong!!!)

    Love
