Money

So I'm 96 pounds overdrawn in the fat controller, but the monster CC payment is off. Hurray. I must put the rent into a savings account and forget about it for the next 10 days.

I'm clear on one CC - Mr Captain has a balance of a bit fat zero

Lucifer stands at 1450 still or there abouts, and I must check that bank next.

Huge electricity bill final settlement for the old house combination of head in sand, head in sand, and no meter readings for the last year - so when the heating storage thingmy's went on the fritz I didn't notice how much we relied on electric plug in heaters to keep the kids warm.

The total bill is £1600:eek:. looks like we were underpaying by a considerable amount - but I've phoned them and they are happy with a £100 month settlement until I can tackle the landlords about their contribution due to dodgy heating which theynever fixed.:mad:

It took me a week to phone the electric folk but to be honest once I had they listened and were really helpful.

So all in all - the amount in for the tunnel has been consumed by the electric bill. Doesn't that sound typical?

I've expenses to write for this month so must do that and overtime to bill for.

I've just filled in the PVG things for work and this week I'll get 6 or so hours for filling in for the garden guru chap at 'tother' work.

And, I must write a few invoices for gardening work.

Its just vile outside so I'm in with the fire on (free wood) and aside that no heating on here.

taxi73

that's an awful bill to have to deal with and hopefully the landlord will help towards it...though most here wouldn't
At least fire with free wood isn't costing you

mum2one

really hope you get some help from the landlord with the elec, u take care xx

starnac

:eek: to heating bill. Hope you get some luck with the landlords though. They can't leave you without heating so they should at least contribute

Finances are looking good for you. Well done you are doing so well

lucielle

Well done on the payment.

MatyMoo

OMG an electric bill like that would have made me fall over

Glad they have been reasonable about it and really hope the landlord will help out.

Thanks guys to be honest I'm not holding up much hope.

Now that the weekend is half way through I guess I can catch up on life on here! Worked today and have Sunday off.

Yippee

Home made lunches etc so far, had a fabulous day yesterday and was gorgeously sunny. Same today which is strange as it felt as if 100 tonnes of water fell as rain through the night. Localised flooding etc. Now just gorgeous.

I guess that's the way to have rain.

Must check banks again and sort out travel for next weekend, DS will be 18 so we're heading down to join him for a day and pick up DD from hairy plane.

starnac

18???? wow! I think DD is grown up at 5!

Hope you have a lovely day with him and DD arrives home safe.

Hey starnac - I'm not off til the weekend. But thank you very much. He wants a snoboard lesson so we've got him one organised!

A minute ago he was five..........

Off to do the banks and stuff (day off kindaways today) and then head out and do a few chores.

Right - sleeves up - banks ahoy.
