Oh thanks I’ve got a good bit to go but it’s a start ❤️

@Amberpearl I got a bill for nearly £400 for December to March, after migrating to Universal credit. I sent an email to the council tax address on the bill, I then realised I had to contact the council tax benefits. I ended up writing to the benefits office and the council tax office, I sent my evidence of all the benefits I have. I sent proof of my disabilities. I explained why I was writing to them, and asked if they could reasses my claim..

I then received a copy of the original bill again, with the same amount owing. Then I also receieved a bill dated a day after showing I was entitled to full tax benefit and i didn't owe anything.

I've kept both of the bills, as the bill showing the nill amount is dated a day later.

Ive been keeping my fingers crossed, that this year's council tax bill is not going to show any high payments owing.

I think it's always important that if you think they have made a mistake, challenge it and follow up on it, if you don't hear back from them within two weeks. I think sending an email or writing in to the council tax office and the council tax benefits is better as you have proof of contact. I sent my paperwork by royal mail, signed for. Kept the receipts with the bill and kept notes on all the contact I'd had with them.

Whiling away the am hours, "ve been staying up until 3am or even later, ive had problems with sleeping for a good while now, but at the moment time seems to fly.

It's the vampire diaries that's filling my early hours, at the moment. Im now starting the last season 8, ive got to find something else once I'm done.

I think it will be the originals a spin off from TVD.

My taste in viewing is vast, I binged "Jane the virgin " loved it so much watched it again. "Bridgerton" could watch it over and over, the series about a doctor in Dixey, cant remember the title even though i watched this twice. lucky my memory isn't the best lol. "Disvovery of Witches", "Mayor of East Town", "911 lone ranger", "911", the list goes on...

I find i forget everything else going on in the world, when I'm watching these different series, I can switch off early hours, then I get a few hours restful sleep.

Does anyone else who has trouble sleeping have distractions to help fill the early hours ? Any recommendations of a good series, to binge watch?
