dionne its the only way you will get out of your situation or dont pay your rent before anyone jumps to conclusions here we didnt stop paying it to get evicted we couldnt aford to pay it hence why we got evicted, anyway yeah present yourself as homeless but it could still take ages to get a house unless you do get an eviction nottice even at that you will prob only be entitle to a 2 bedroom council house because yor babies are so younge, they can share a room till they are 10 Im in a 2 bed masonette flat but i think its better for me because i have 2 girls and i dont want to move ever again

I would love to go back to work....but i simply could afford to! in the school hols i would be paying £1000 in nursery fees alone i know you get help form tax credits but when i went to the job centre they did an estimate thingy of how much credits and stuff i would get if i worked.

they worked it out that if i did 40 hours a week on minimum wage i would be £10 a week better off than i am now

i think there should be alot more help for working parents

i didnt mean to upset anyone, but i just dont think millionaires ect should get CB when it could be given to other people who really need it
