Starting again, with a positve attitude this time ..

Have you claimed your Housing Benefit since you moved? You should be entitled to it even when you were working. Think you're right that you need to reclaim Income Support at the moment. Don't put it off, as you'll lose money if you do. Promise me that you'll give them a ring in the morning?

Ye Housing Benefit are waiting on my employer sendng back a form to prove how long I worked and how much I earned etc so its suspended until she gets back to them (I think she has 4 weeks but I have no idea what happens if she doesnt) Ive called Income support and there sending out a form, but she said theres a backlog here and its 6 weeks before its processed :eek: but it will be backdated to when I finished work

Ok so today I've had my kick up the behind to get myself motivated again, sitting feeling sorry for myself wont work will it?

Anyway I have some bits listed on Ebay for mum, her house has sold now so shes clearing out. I've offered to list as I'm hoping she will share Have a few bits to list myself too

Friend is back from work today, so I need to cheer myself up becuase Im sure he doesnt want me to act like I did last week

Income support are sending a form so will have to fill that in as soon as it gets here and get something sorted or I think we will starve :rotfl:

Cams 3 next week, where did that time go? He's going to be starting school soon which means my baby really is a big boy, and well Lexi is just Lexi a pain! :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi HI, nice to hear you having a little bit of a laugh with yourself.

Know how you feel about money situation, am waiting to hear from tax credits about us, people have been getting letters saying their money is reducing or stopping from April don't know what I will do if our stops. I cannot afford nursery fees without their help.

And work are pressuring me to go 5 days despite me explaining time and time again I would just be working to pay nursery fees without any money for food or bills.

Awww bless Lexi and Cam.

Have you thought any more about claiming DLA? If you were working you would still be able to get extra money for Tax Credits for receiving DLA. Well I say that, but who knows what will happen in April.

I have been reading over on the benefits board about the DLA changing to PIP? It all looks way to complicated to even try! Just reading on here puts me off never mind what it involves to claim. Im really hoping to find some work anything Im willing to do anything at all.

I agree nursery fees are crazy I was looking at prices incase I find something which means I need childcare and it will be about £70 a day at least just for nursery not including our bus fares/taxi fares etc

Hello all hope all is well?

Friends away back to work, kids fed and bathed nearly bedtime I cant wait to get in bed!

Grocery shop done online £29 should see us through to the end of March

Hoping to recieve my form from Income Support this week so I can get it sent back. Obviously no update on the debt repayment front Really begining to get me down now, but not much I can do to help it yet.

Friends offered to pay for Cam a party at weekend although I dont think its such a good idea seeing as we dont really know any small children to come so I think it will be just the 4 of us and tea of Cams choice with cake (which HAS to be a Toy Story Cake thats a job trying to find one near here lol Ive probably left it a bit late )

Hopeful1

I'm sure a family and special family friend tea will be perfect for Cam. My eldest didn't have a big party until he went to school.

Everything will come together with the money, try not to beat yourself up whilst you're waiting :A

Hello all hope all is well?

Been to CAB today over Income Support/Housing Allowence etc and they have made me an appointment to go back with a benefits advisor on Friday I know it means waiting an extra day to post them but at least I know they will have been filled in right. Hopefully something will be sorted soon. I hope so I hate letting people down
