    Painted lady well done on the money from the tax credits.

    Eternal optimist, sorry your dd is not well, hope she gets better soon

    Everyone else, sounds like were all in for a fairly busy day!

    Just realised i have put the wrong date in the title, must have been hoping for an extra day this month! Any one know how to fix it, or if indeed you can?

    Thanks, Jenjad and Andan for your kind wishes:kisses3:
    I credit MSE for my positiveness and bubbliness....debt can make you feel so miserable and stressed and I definitely felt like that for a long time. However, finding this forum, 'meeting' all you lovely inspirational people and getting many money saving ideas and advice has made me feel...well... eternally optimistic I guess:rotfl: :j :p

    Need to check my spreadsheet but almost certain I have got my current figure wrong, have paid £10 more than I thought on 1 debt so should be £8,934.99 :D
