    Thanks Polly and Wiggle - lovely to have some extra support.

    OH's work do do the Childcare vouchers so he is going speak to someone about it tomorrow and see if we can use them.

    We use a registered child minder - does anyone know if she can take them? I assume I would be a case of her claiming them back?

    This will be fantastic if it works out for us as child care is such a huge cost so any little offset against it will help.

    Thanks so much for the heads up, fresh air.

    Thanks Pinot. :)
    I am feeling so much more positive about it all now - really starting to get to a place where I feel it can all be sorted.
    Having a laugh about dishwasher tablets certainly helps to see the funny side of it all!

    We do have some random conversations on these diaries, but I think we all need some silliness in amongst all the pressure of the debts ! :D

    I found Polly, but Ive forgotten the name of her diary, hang on a sec, I will check and be back x
