    It's days like today you need a punch bag and pretend it's somebody that may be p***ing you off and then beat the c**p out of it!

    Shame I can't just do it to the person :rotfl:

    Hopefully the day is a bit brighter today Hidden - take some time for yourself if you can to escape into a book or something. You can't be everything you need to for others if you don't look after your own "self" as well.

    Thank you.

    We changed plans today, the weather is shocking! Plus my sisters coming over so we are going to bake cakes and make some anniversary cards for my mum.

    If the weather clears we will go to the park and library.

    Still will be a NSD.

    The post brought an overpayment letter from Tax credits now the renewals done. Over £1000 :mad: :o I don't want to add it to my debt and it go up :( Will see.

    How on earth can they be saying they've overpaid you? Oh Hidden that's the very last thing you need isn't it - rotten fiends! :(

    I was expecting it really, His over time pushed us into the next income bracket by about £3 :cool: So even though I'd been updating it the overpayment was from the beginning of last year when he was still getting working tax :(

    I don't know if I should just leave it in the background. I think they will take it from my new award anyway so I won't have to worry about repaying it etc, but then I guess I'm just lying to myself that the debt is less than it is :cool: It will make the debt go up to more than when I started totally wiping out what I've paid and some!
