have amended post CP

Thanks very much Aesop... will ammend my sig. Today i have £46.90 for an Amazon trade-in to add. Think that will be my last trade in but it was nice while it lasted! All my other books or textbooks aren't listed to sell. Anyway, spent the £46.90 already.... in fact i've spent all of my amazon vouchers today on the last of my christmas shopping! Feels odd that i spent £115 (ish) there and i never actually "paid" for anything! :money::T

Anyway.... off to bed. Little one has caught a stomach bug so i'm gonna sleep while i can before he wakes me up again! :cool:

Good luck on the job hunting/interviews ect everyone.... That seems to be the theme of the day today! :rotfl:

Also, thanks everyone for cheering me up this week while i've been down.

Adding £5 from Amazon Gift Card courtesy of Swaggers and £100 sent back to my bank account from E-on.

I need this thread more than every now. Hubby had a motorbike accident 6 months ago and we've just been scraping by on SSP and Income Support, but his employer terminated his employment yesterday on the grounds of reduced capabilities. We've made a claim for ESA but it will take around 4 weeks to process, yet they've stopped the Income Support and Tax credits with immediate effect. Worse still, the unemployment cover on our mortgage wont pay out either as he is not fit to look for work. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Hope everyone has had a better day than I have!

I think they can't leave you with no income at all, do you have children and are they under 5?

I think you could apply to Tax credits for some money until the claim is assessed but you are better off asking for advice here

really sorry to hear this, not what you want at this time of the year. Hugs to you and your husband.

All my thoughts are with you please let me be lucky. I hope you find someone at the benefits office who will listen to you and help you out. They are a rare breed! Fingers crossed for you.

I have had a slow month this month and only feel like the money is trickling in. I have £4.59 to add from amazon and 0.87 to add from amazon. However all this little bits have added up because I have been throwing money straight at my credit card. I have finally got it done to just below £1000. I know its still alot but thats a massive achievement for me. I started this year at around £3000. So my new target is to get it done to 950 before the new year.

Thanks Aesop. My little ones are 7 & almost 2. It's the working tax credit element that's been stopped but fingers crossed the child tax credit will still Pay out over the next few weeks. I have to ring them back when I get his P45. Will definitely ask on the benefits thread. Xx

I didn't think they could stop the working tax credit straight away. I thought there was a 4 week run-on period? Or have you already had that? Hope you get something sorted P-L-M-B-L xx
