    Milocat, just been reading through your diary. Sorry to hear you've had such a rubbish year. Could you speak to your bank and explain the situation about not having been paid the right amount. They might extend your overdraft to save on charges! We've got a tough month ahead too so can completely sympathise with you. We can get through it though!

    milocat, we spoke to CAP ( Christians against poverty) as we were in a similar position, struggling with the monthly repayments and having nothing left for food or petrol. Thankfully we got through the first part of December and now DH has been paid we're managing well with the budgets CAP set.
    We opened a basic bank account on CAP's advice due to having an overdraft on the current account. Feels so much better having a positive amount in the bank rather than negative.
    Hope you got through Christmas ok and it'll be onwards and downwards through 2014!
