  • Mortgage figure now under £98k which is great, CC figure updated and now under £1499 - slowly but surely we are making progress!

    Life is sooo busy these days and I wonder how they had time to go to School and me to work, it's full on. But we are making some lovely new friends, me included and life is good.

    Glad to hear everything is going well, you sound really happy :D.

    We got carers allowance so just waiting for the letter to then waste 30 mins of my life on phone to tax credits updating that, TC will go down I assume, but I'm relatively reassured, we will still be slightly better off.

    Still plodding away with surveys, Pr0filic is so busy at the minute, I've got £17 cleared with another £13 worth of surveys to clear asap.

    If getting dla you should get some additional money on tax credits - make sure you tell them about the claim.
