I didn't really sleep alot on my mind
Rent arrears = court costs are higher than I thought and I have no idea why so I've asked them to send a break down of what's what. I knew I had court costs to add on but I didn't expect them to be so much! They said there's more than one set of court costs and the time we actually went to court obviously has more fees.
Treatment day. Already feel dreadful. Joyful.Real moany post sorry!
