    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I read your post this morning and felt extremely jealous! I was dragging the girls out of bed at 8.20! I remember when the older 2 were little and would be out on the trampoline before school, was so much easier. They have to be at school for 8.20 tomorrow, that'll be fun!
    Have a lovely day, good luck with all the phone calls.

    Thank you :D

    At mums as planned, just having a coffee in the garden while youngest eats lunch (or feeds lunch to the birds ;))

    Prescription should be sorted I think, I spoke directly to the pharmacy and instructed under no circumstance are they to send anymore of the item that is wrong! They destroy it if it is returned and while I can use it, it will take months and months the amount we have now! This is the only reason I'm not too :mad: at them because we can use what they are sending, it just takes 5 times as long and it shouldn't need to be that way! I'm sure cost plays a part ;)

    So short term goals now I've sort of met the others, I need to find £60 to pay the council tax, ASAP! I am behind £60 on the arrangement and it was due the 8th so they have sent a reminder, 5 more days and I'll lose the right to pay this years and the debt in installments :o Scary thought.

    So I need to survey as much as possible considering I don't know when I will getting any money in now :o

    We have food, We have a roof over our head, We have Gas, electric and each other. SO I guess that's more than some.

    Still a worry though :o

    Now that OH has left have you let the council know?

    If the ctax account was in joint names they will need to close the joint account and open a new one in your name only. If it is in your name only then you need to apply for single person discount.

    Once they have this info this may help with the instalment issue as generally information which comes in puts a stop on the account while it waits to be processed.

    As someone above said, why not give them a call and explain that OH has left and you are waiting on your benefits.

    Have you made claims to Income Support, Housing and Council Tax Benefit today?
