He should have to pay half I think. However as I have no true address for him because he's sofa hopping they cant chase him for it so it lands on me as its added on this years bill

Today has been a long day A no spend one though.

Hi Olivia,


Just wanted to say you are doing a fantastic job keeping your home and family together and battling the debts. I think quite a few of us can relate to some of what you are going through and really want to wish you the best of luck for the future and give you a :T.

Afternoon all hope everyone is well.

Not such a good day I've had to borrow money to cover some bills

So this week is about be tight again so I can make sure I can pay back what I've borrowed and still pay some of the debt :(

Will I ever get straight :cool:

The kids still are in desperate need of clothes, I really can't put it off any longer either

Boring, depressing update :cool:

Bank balance £0

Council Tax £40 at least.
Dad £130 at least.
Fine £15 at least.
TV license £11.20

As well as sorting the kids clothes ASAP!

Looks like another difficult week :cool:

Can I ask why you're paying your dad back right now when you're in such a tricky situation? Would he be willing to wait a month or two?

Other than that, have you checked local charity shops etc for the kids clothes? You can get loads of bargains on Facebook selling sites locally too and kids clothes often go really cheaply.

Good luck!

Have you tried asking on free cycle for the kiddies clothes ?
