    I hate tax credits so much... had the award notice through... £68 a week til april, then it goes back up to £90.
    So now I've got to do the budgets on £68 every week. Looks like my wages aren't going to be 'spare money' any more, well, til april anyway.

    Well not screwed but literally back to square one having no spare money after I get my wages as they're now going to be used in our budget. Luckily the band decided that we're going to get together at ours from next sun to get writing songs and recording for the time being so that'll save us £10 a week. Looks like we'll just have to split the budget between a weds and sat when I get my wages.

    Best get job hunting!

    In brighter news have sorted out days with the CAB, mon afternoon and thursday afternoon.. going to call the nursery and sort that out.

    Also did a instant piggypoint quiz this morning so once that gets added I'll order Ste's HMV voucher. :D

    Excuse the random workings out...

    In savings account - £87.32
    In bills acount spare - £80.52
    Cheque from Scottish power clearing (tom or weds) - £84.48
    Ste's spare wages on weds - £240
    = £492.32

    Service - £190.99
    - £80 vouchers
    = £110.99
    - hopefully another £40 in vouchers from our clubcard if they get here in time!

    Nursery Deposit - £40

    = £341.33 for 'just in cases' for the service.. and if all goes well with no extras it can go into the car fund.

    £120.80 child benefit on the 26th which will pay for the car tax. It's £140 for the year or £77 for 6 months so think I'll get 6 months and then save the rest for the car fund. I know we'd save £14 by paying for the year but we could do with the extra money right now :P
