Hi everyone, So stressed out at the moment OH just came in from work saying he has been made redundant as of 5.30 today with a two month salary payout. Now all I can say is bye bye to debt free end feb .
We are really worried about what will happen now. He will get out tomorrow to look for one but I don't know what happens about tax credits as I still need the childcare element while he's looking also housing benefit do I tell them now as he has two month pay. dunno (at moment they one pay a little as we both work but if he cant get something hopefully this will cover the whole rent?
Anyway no pads for me for a while as every penny needs to stay in the bills account to cover them.

So sorry to hear that :grouphug::grouphug:
I'm sure others will advise, but failing that a trip to CAB should answer your questions.

Looking at your signature, you have done so well, so give yourself a pat on the back as this awful situation would be so much worse if you still had all that debt.
Take care

Not been padding, but have kept my money and manged to pay both house & car insurance straight out, without adding to cc:j which is great for me in January.
DH has some work just now which has meant that he did, and paid for, the shopping this weekend:j
Which has meant that I can sneak in to add a bit more to January's total.
PAD = £139.86

Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes. DS has had a bit of a setback today, he's not to good, but he's in the best place and they are taking excellent care of him. Hoping to have him back home in a few days.

Just £1.00 PAD for me today please.

Frodo, best wishes to you and your son. Hope he makes a good recovery.

Well done to jet9cat and sashanut on your good news :T

By contrast, sorry S-A-M to hear about your OH. I really hope he can find some work soon. Big hugs for you and will keep my fingers crossed too x

Sorry to hear your news S-A-M ~ hopefully something will turn up quickly for you both, however in the meantime, positive thoughts and blessings that you have managed to pay down so much debt before it happened

What a horrible end of month some of you are having :grouphug: How awful.

My final January PAD is a non-spectacular-but-it-all-adds-up £1.50

Thanks everyone for another inspiring month...see you all in February (eh, that's in a rather undramatic two hours!)
