Morning, Thank you honeysucklelou. Slowly going the right way!

Also paid

£15 Electric
£10 Gas
£6.25 for next weeks school dinners
£6 Tv license (on time )

Have £15 out for OH bus fare but not sure if he'll collect it.

Just waiting for PA and panelbase to hit the bank then I can pay the £75 I owe to council tax, then I will finally have caught up on both the arrangement and the monthly payments.

You are doing really well in reducing that debt HI. More than 10% paid now in spite of your OH and tax credits reducing.

Well done, Hidden. Hope things take a turn for the better today.

Hi Hidden, I think its a great idea to go for the week's trial at the potential new job. If it all works out with care for your youngest it would be brilliant for you to have that control over your income I'll keep my fingers crossed

It's only term time, contract 10 hours but will be 24 hours term time.

Not sure how it works out wage wise as when I was last there I didn't take much notice

It would fit in around my kids school other than and 1 week in May where the school holidays are different.

It's walking distance to home and to my kids school should I be needed for them.

Another plus is I already know the staff there and are 'friends' with most because I've already worked there before.

That sounds ideal then! With all your financial savvy now you would definitely be on top of the wages now

I have to say Hidden I really like you. Your determination and guts through all this is amazing. You are strong and I can tell your kids are your everything. Big well done and catch up soon xx

I think that sounds good about the job HI. Hopefully a bit of extra help financially and confidence wise and getting out and keeping busy. You can hopefully then put down roots and feelers for something better paid when your kids are older.
