In the circumstances that's a good plan with the cakes I reckon - good thinking.
Don't worry about the CT - just keep on doing what you're doing and if they try to say you've got to have a payment review and they're adding more fees as a result then we'll just get our heads together and see how best to challenge it.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Oh took me that long to reply I had visitors
It will pass SA. Counting down the days/weeks.
Thank you EH, I plan to just pay CT as I have been and hope they continue on a similar plan. If anything my SOA shows I have less available now than before so fingers crossed they just take what I've been doing so far.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Ahh there isn't much 'GO' left in me right now HH :rotfl:
For the last 4 weeks I've only left the sofa to shower and things that are life or death and to attend hospital :rotfl: I do need to keep going though so even if that is only posting here then its a start“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Just do one day at a time WF , that’s the best thing to do . I guess as everyday goes on you will get better .
If it means just sitting on the sofa then so be it. Can you claim the money back for taxis to the hospital ?0 -

I'm not sure?
They do have transport because it isn't at B town hospital its over near your town. But the times just don't work right and mean hanging around for hours. I know that's what I should probably do considering it's free transport“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
It might be worth asking , if you are coming my way it won’t be cheap . I understand waiting for free transport is awful if you just want to get home.0

Hope the council tax sorts out quickly and easily and that you can continue with the way things are now (or that they'll ask for less considering your on less income).
Birthday planning gets expensive doesn't it? DD2 birthday in 2 weeks and she has just mentioned wanting a 'sort of party'. She hates noise and fuss so we have spoke about a pamper party type thing. DD3 then told me she's been invited to an ice skating party and would like an ice skating party for her birthday too.LBM in April 17 - £14998/£33554 (44.6%) paid.
