Morning HI
Did you have any luck with the electric company about the charity fund to pay off your arrears? Sorry if you've already updated on this and I missed it.

I received the letter yesterday saying they have my forms etc and that it can take up to 8 weeks for a decision/reply.

GeorgianaCavendish

Good news that they've received it, fingers crossed that it is quicker than 8 weeks

Wage slip in other half hasn't 'spent' anything before receiving it this week lets hope this stays the same.

Well done HI, great update!! Keep on going!!

You are tantalisingly close to cashing out on YouGov!!

Thank you

I'm looking forward to a change of scenery. Yep I'll be skint but I'd rather be skint sat at the sea than skint sat in my 4 walls over thinking.

I'm just having a coffee break before why waiting for the washer to sort the last bits.

Still need to finish making other half's food for the week and making the kids pack lunches for the journey after school. No service station/fast food stops for us

Have a wonderful break HI! You deserve a lovely chance to relax and not think about debt for a while
