    Snaggles- if People on higher household income than you are getting more tax credits, then either they have more kids, disability in family,higher childcare bills, are paying a lot into a pension or are being paid incorrectly. They may be other scenarios I've not thought of.
    Obviously I should just stop moaning then.

    Don't be daft hun. You're perfectly entitled to moan. The trouble with tax credits it's that it's a hideously unfair system and half the time I think they pluck their figures out of thin air.

    Thanks - this has just come at the end of a week from hell, and for some reason I can't stop crying about pathetic little things that shouldn't matter.

    Aww Snaggs! :grouphug:

    They do matter - they matter to you, and that should be all that matters.

    You can't do anything about tax-credits and the like now, so just focus on what you can do.

    Even if that just relaxing and laughing...

    Don't be daft and if I'm coming across abrupt I'm not meaning to. I am struggling to get to grips with posting on a new laptop:rolleyes: . Originally that post said at the end my money is on the last 'they are being paid incorrectly' but it got deleted with some other typos.
