That's what I was thinking of doing Tinks.

Peanutter, not an option. I pay via centrepay to government housing. They'll only allow the payment from that pay. State government won't allow it to come from my other payment.

I can definitely work it all out & rebudget, but I've always made my money around even by splitting my payments between the weeks so after so many years, it will take some getting used too. Its just not in my comfort zone ITMS. I've always made sure I didn't have to struggle between fortnights.

My power & all other bills are either direct debit or centrepay & all out of my FTB or weekly. Phone bill I should probably see if I can pay $20 a week off, then not have the huge end of month bill, but that's about the only thing I can change.

Will ask them about the direct debit, but otherwise I'll just have to manage.
