    The £100 cheque has cleared from the debt dieter comp and also it's tax credits day so we currently have £333.63 (had to use £10 last night to get nappies, bread and some mince for dinner.. :rolleyes:) in the savings and £70 in the main account :D Hooray for free money! wooooohoooooo! So we're all set for blackpool! :D
    Also on the way is a cheque for £6.22, the money from my mum and the money from Ste's phone... :)
    Ste's done that vanquis application for the £20 through tcb and funnily enough they said they couldn't give Ste an instant decision! lmao!
    I just applied and it couldn't give me one either! lol!!! Ah well screw them.. only applied for the cashback!!!! lol!!!

    I applied last night for the vanquis one and couldn't get an instant decision either - but the cashback had tracked by this morning, so that is all that matters!

    Will be a sad state of affairs though if I can't even get a bloody vanquis card :o

    Yes it wouldn't give us an instant decision either .... but the £20 has tracked so that is all that matters to me.

    I've just realised something, all this talk of me getting a full time job is pointless.
    To put the girls into nursery would mean paying a deposit for them both ALONG with a month in advance... considering the fees would be £1300 we would have to pay £1300 + deposit up front then another £1300 a few weeks later... :(

    this is why I have stayed at home - childcare is soooo expensive and for me to work I would need one in nursery and afterschool care for 2 other children. I once worked it out and it would cost just short of £10k a year in childcare for me to go back to work!
