  • I've found the old style board now so I'm going to read up on some tips!

    Next you'll be buying a breadmaker, and some stardrops! (like me):rotfl: :rotfl:

    Good for you girl!:T

  • Already have the breadmaker! What are stardrops!?! Haven't found that thread!
  • :j Ah ha! Found Stardrops! I've recently bought some Squeekee clean concentrated stuff which does all the same as Stardrops. Don't know which one works out cheaper though?:confused:
  • Good evening everyone! I'm stuck at work at the moment but have sneaked a bit of time to read the posts. Brilliant advice all round, thanks again. You'll all be pleased to hear I'm on roll-ups at the moment, a few more weeks of these & I'll want to give up completely.
    I'm coming home in the morning and then going straight out again on a money making expedition. All is good at the moment and after having see my baby son smiling before I left for work nothing else really worries me.
    One door closing simply opens another.........!

    Hope you're all well.

    You seem to be working well as a family unit on this now and that will be a great help to you through all this.

  • Hi Everyone!
    Just called Benefits Line and because my little boy gets middle rate DLA I am entitled to Carer's Allowance - they're sending me an application pack!:j
    The parties don't bring in a regular, guaranteed amount so I'll just make sure that I don't earn over the limit as knowing my luck I'll be the one that gets accused of benefit fraud!:rolleyes:
    Just need to get out Tax Credits sorted now! :D
    Best wishes to all,
    Dizzy xx

    Well done Dizzy wasn't it worth making that call. Make sure you ask for it to be backdated. Next stop tax credits - go on you can do it.

    That's great news!
    It may also be worth checking if there's a local Carers' Association - both for support and in case there are any practicalities they can help with.
