Bossy - when we found out we owed money they told us they would wait until the end of the financial year and then work out fully what we owed and take a set amount of us each week/month, they take about 25% of the amount owed from us each week - hope that helps :]


Wetsuits - does anyone know where I can get wetsuits from for the children cheaply, I've been told by the Doc to get some for the children for next years hols as the sea in this country is too cold for them to tolerate and they keep getting chest infections/coughs. But other than Sports Direct I've no idea where to look - thanks

Been shopping, spent a fortune, cleared up after DD who threw up from coughing so much! Need to do loads of stuff but lacking GUAG at the moment

Thanks! And I got our wetsuits online from "The Wetsuit Factory" have a feeling it may have been an ebay shop...

Hi

HH Paperwork - checked final tax credit thingy, I owe them £600 :eek: for the first part of last year. Looks correct, but I don't know how it happened as I kept them up to date all along with DH illness and changing childcare needs...
Wipe and water plants - watered my lettuce!
Catch up on any phone calls - think am up to date


So, with regards the overpayment, does anyone know what happens? Will they redo my award for this year? It just says this is now due, but doesn't say how to pay it. Or do they send a separate request? Will they expect it all at once? Not stressing as I gather they are right, and I do have a little stash, but would like to be prepared for it, in case they want it whilst I'm on holiday or something...

Ta :A

With ours, which was a lot more, they stopped paying us whilst they collected back what we owed them. Since then our circumstances changed and we were nolonger eligible for an award so we are paying them back monthly over a 2 year period. You can ask for them to look into it if you think it is wrong and then the amount 'owed' goes on hold until the investigation is complete. I thought if you had given them all the details and they had got it wrong then you were not liable but could be wrong, look on their website for details.

3 bedrooms all finished
Took the boys rowing down the local lakes.

Going to make some soup next for dinner and do some hoovering whilst it cooks.

neveah

afternoon all ,done levels 1 and 2 but have been at the vets for a few hours with a poorly piggy .
have to syringe feed him for next 24 hours and then if he's no better then she thinks he wont make it xx
Also wm x3 no ironing yet it's still too hot x

Honey_Bear

Sorry about your poorly piggy Neveah. As part of my Flying today I finally cleaned the skirting board next to the the stair where my favourite ginger cat used to sunbathe. She left a little mark that I've never been able to bring myself to get rid of. It's now gone - as she went, six years ago! Never easy, losing a pet, so good luck with the syringe feeding.

It's taken me until the start of the fifth Flying week, but I've managed Level 1, 2 and 3 plus Extras for the first time. Chuffed to bits. Thanks everyone who puts the lists up and contributes - it's inspired me.

And this is a week late, but I also managed to find a permanent home for 10 unsorted items of gibble from my room of doom, so only about 300 to go.
