Me too Beanie makes a change. The days will be busier routine wise but we will get a good stretch at night with nothing in (other than sleep
) it will also mean a lot more can be done at the local hospital/community teams. It means less travel and less disruption to school (eventually)

Great news on the progress for youngest, everything crosed that it works and your hopes can be realised
Re the CT, I think if you call them fast and talk to them, they may say that if it does not get as far as court and you pay it as soon as this months money comes in, that the court fee can be deducted - worth asking about it as it saves a lot of money if that would work.Credit card debt - NIL

Hope the council tax can be sorted out without too much hassle for you and truly hope DD continues to make good progress. Sending lots of positivity & good wishes xx0

Have you checked if there is s number you can ring for the council tax to get it sorted sooner rather than via letters? My local council has a number you can ring but they never mention it in the letters - worth a Google?0

Really to good to hear such good things about youngest. Fingers crossed the positive news continues and you are able to make plans for when you are all back home0

Great news about youngest :T Glad it's going well.
There's someone who posts on DFW that deals a lot with council tax issues - CIS - might be worth trying a post on there. x"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
