    Hi,

    The high petrol is because i drive to work, school runs and take my granny shopping as she cant walk that well.

    The virgin media is TV / Phone and internet tried asking for a lower rate but they said no.

    Have just been on the CCCS website and im now sitting plucking up the strenth to call them.... tried you friendly lot first....

    Im working out the APR now.....

    Thanks for the fast responce...... cant stop fretting as im writing this

    Take granny down Age concern office who will help you fill in the forms in the 'right' way to help get attendance allowance. If she needs help to live from you if it's phrased correctly you can get help and it isn't means tested but Gran needs to claim first.

    Ive tried this my gran is a very proud lady and will not even consider this.... took me over a year to get her to get a disabled card for the car.

    i dont mind taking her she cant get out other wise and it gives me something to moan about (joking)

    I know it is hard right now. I also know it's more challenging with having a preciouse little one at home. Would you consider making extra money online? Won't cost you a dime. Check out my site:
    I am a work at home mom to three beautiful children. Any extra income helps and can go towards paying bills. Keep us posted!
