Please help me im now desperate - and now sacked from my job

I work fulltime through the day starting at 8am and finishing at 4:45 I then go straight on to a cleaning job and I dont usually get home till 8 in the evening. Which means I dont get to see my 4 year old daughter.
My husband is unemployed but looking for a job.

Im in alot of debt jointly with my husband and also have to go to Magistrates court on 8th September as Council tax has not been paid since living here (lived here 4moths, hubby left the Army).

I just dont know what to do, I have more outgoings that I have money coming in, im so tired and stressed I dont know what I can do. Before you ask, my husband is not much help and I dont have much of a family. His family dont seem to care. We cant get a loan either.

I just feel like crying all the time.

first of all , well done for realising that things are getting too much.;)

Please post an SOA, and then we will know your full situation, income outgoing and debts monthly.

And... don't make yourself cry it can be sorted, trust me

Hi Maria,

Just wanted to give you a hug. There is never anything that cannot be sorted. Well done for posting here ... a said above, post your SOA and I'm sure they'll be lots of MSEers along soon to give you advice.

Give yourself a smile and be proud of yourself that you're doing something positive :-)

Help will be on the way post the info and wait and see

Try to keep your chin up, can you explain to husband how you feel, if you have to give up work because off illness brought on by stress it won't do anyone much good. Not particularly helpful I know but could you swap to an early morning clean job which will at least enable you to see your daughter in the evenings.
Have you checked what family credit you can get? It may be that if you declare your main job to see waht you could get and give up the cleaning job immediately if you will be better off?
If you can put up your income maybe someone on here would be able to tell you what you would be entitled to if you just had your day job?

My hubby left Army in June and was doing a driving job, he left it as he was not able to cope with civilian life and just gacve it up, he wants to syat unemployed till he joins back up in the Army in January. I have explained the situation but he dont listen. he wont listen to anyone, he is a selfish b.......

I have no family as I was in care from when i was 10 till 18 through them abusing me, so i have no contact. Although i have started talking to my mothe ans she dont sem to care. It feels like i have no-one.
I enter competitions and do every survey going to make money. I also have started to write naughty stories as you can get £50 for 500 words and £100 for 1000 words. I dont know what else i can do

Your water bill seems high. What car do you drive, i bet you could get insurance cheaper.
