had a change of circumstances which means we will get less money, called them last week to tell them about it, only to be told we have to fill in one of their long winded forms, which they would send out to us. in the meantime they have stopped my payment (fair enough, to avoid any overpayment)
received it today. spent an hour filling it out. an HOUR, i shit you not.
posted it late this afternoon and then suddenly had a HORRIBLE realisation i forgot to get DH to sign his bit.
have already rang to ask for new forms, which means another week or so before we get them, (at least, in my experience) which means at least another week with NO MONEY from tax credits. it usually takes at least a month for them to get their act together and process a claim anyway which means 5 weeks where i have nothing coming in :(
we rely on it, i know we shouldn't but we do, it pays for our food basically. we are already in rent arrears of about £700 (long story)
i'm sick of being skint. we just got married and rather than enjoying the newly married period we are stressing about lack of money. :(
god i am such a twat not checking dh had signed it 
he is in the kitchen cooking me a lovely valentines meal and i am sat on here almost crying with worry and annoyance.
