Hi all...had a terrible day...went to town to get some much needed shopping...no tax credits/Child benefit/no food bought...came home head in a whirl..postman arrived...letter from tax credits...we are dropping your money to £30 a week and you owe us loads:eek::eek::eek::eek:...read about 5 times...rang OH in Croatia in tears..
Finally pulled myself together slightly...phoned DS1 saying he would have to leave his training course and sign on...spoke to his tutor who was very angry she phoned job centre who phoned me....told me to phone CB....oh yes you did phone us with all the info last week but it hasnt been done properly...you are still entitled to claim...will reinstate it for Ds1....the man from Job centre deserves a medal as I would have just believed them and accepted it...they could have totally ruined things for my DS.....sorry for HUGE rant xx


I have done all my ironing and loads of decluttering...3 bags take to CS....3 more to go tomorrow xx

THink I need to try for DLA for DS1 ....never applied for an adult before so not sure what it entails but his Excema is truly awful...he has 4 hospital visits in the next 10 days which I can ill afford...his Vit D level is non existant.....

pigpen

if it affects his day to day life you should apply definitely. CY may be able to assist.. I know it is a different illness but she claims with her adult daughter..

hi everyone, hugs to those that need/want one.
busy next few days ahead, got loads i need/want to get done before LO starts back at preschool on weds. hopefully will have alot of NSD's too the next few weeks as need to start trying harder at clearing the debts so going to carry on keeping focused on decluttering and cleaning the flat. going to crack on with the garden tommorrow if its dry, LO can burn off his energy while im doing it. really need to get the fencing done next year so its safer for him to play out there, have added more stuff to my lists so they have grown again, see you all tommorrow hope you all have a good nights sleep, night night xxxx oh forgot to mention my kettle blew up earlier so im curently boiling water on the stove in a saucepan till i have the money for a kettle which will hopefully be next week x

Why is my OH annoying me so much I hear you ask, well he's just came in from the disco asked me to phone in a munchie box to share with the boys and they have all gone to bed and are sleeping and I'm sitting here with enough food to feed the street by myself, such a waste food and £12.60!

I'd put it in the fridge and they can have it tomorrow for dinner!
