    Is there any posibility of moving somewhere cheaper? It obviously depends on where you are but your rent and council tax is taking half of your income and benefits at the moment...
    There IS work from home oppertunerties but majority aren't very well paid to be honest - some of it isn't too bad - maybe do some ironing for people or even dog walking can bring in pretty good money...

    The funny bit is where we live now is £100 a month cheaper than our old area, if you meant smaller house we're in a two bed terrace at the mo, gonna look into a flat in a couple of months when the lease is up on this, as for council we're on the list but haven't got a hope for a couple of years. Thanks for the ideas mrs tine:D

    I am thinking your benefits isn't high enough for such a low income, are you sure that is correct? Child allowance alone for two children is over £120 per month and the basic child tax credit is £10 per month. Take alook at Entitled.com and check your benefits.
