Recieved my Family fund letter today!!!!!!!!!

[sparklymieow]

with a cheque to £740!!! Took 3 months in total.....

What are you planning to do with it?

It £500 for a holiday, and £120 each for DS and DD1 to get new clothes and/or bedding.

excellent news. Enjoy the holiday - you definately deserve one!

I thought it was a holiday Fantastic!

Not sure about leaving the house atm, but as soon as we move I will be booking a holiday

Happy spending!

That's great Sparkly, do you have to take DD and DS on the holiday too?

last year they only gave us £350 for a holiday, but they phoned me on monday and said that they had DS's application with hols and clothing on it but DD1s one had nothing on it, so she said would I like them to put hols and clothing for her too. I said yes, and that must be the amount they send for two disabled kids..

We have had our 'kids-free' holiday for this year

kid free holiday?

we went to Skeggy in april, Misdee.

mum and MIl looked after the kids.

i know u did. i meant to say, whats that then

lol, as soon as Pete is well you can book one yourself and get away

is that an offer for babysitting then

I'll look after ONE of them....... couldn't have 6 kids here, it will drive me nuts...

i'll just leave the other 2 in a cupboard (joking!!!!!!)

How does the holiday thing work? Can you go anywhere as long as you keep the receipts? I'm thinking of asking for a holiday when I re-apply in November.

Yes they just give you the cash and then you choose

Thanks, Mieow.

well we get 370 holiday grant even thou we have three kids, in the past we have had 100 quid each child for clothes/bedding but never more holiday money and i would put it to good use

I think I will book something for the 6 weeks holidays, never had the money for it before.
