Sorry my brain isn't grasping that... when you were working your entire income went to the house as bills and stuff needed paying however you didn't get paid back because it was house stuff now you have to pay back... erm... brain hurts...

Not right....

Not unless it goes both ways....

Hugs wonderful... here if you need me....

When Lelani's pay was going entirely into the household, I wasn't working and it was a major struggle to keep people from harassing us. We were even making nothing more than token payments on rent. Now I am working, my income barely covers household costs as well as all our arrears on gas, electric, rent, water and my existing debts which built up during my 2 month unemployment. What that means is that for every £1 spent above & beyond what SHOULD be going to rent, electric, gas, water, I have to delay or reduce a payment somewhere and tell my creditors or others that things will be brought back in line with my(/our) contractual obligations. Which means I'm under pressure to either ask for that money back or find it elsewhere

Know Exactly what you're talking about here, while I could afford it I paid all of the bills and brought the food, yes I was also being helped by having a lodger, but as my own money that was, has all but gone, now I still get to pay the bills and buy all the food, problem is of course that my own limited income, plus the lodgers money is not enough to cover everything, I also have an extra bill these days too as I never used to have to pay council tax, but because my lodger is working I do now.
