SOA (kind of)

2»

  • Problem with a job is childcare, I've applied for jobs in call centres, pubs etc where I wouldn't have to pay for childcare but I've not had any luck.

    Will contact student services tomorrow whilst I'm at university, according to their website they will require bank statements and will not fund lifestyle choices, do you think I should give them a copy of my SOA?

    Thank you

    To be honest you should be entitled to some help with childcare costs - whether at college or at work -

    My little sister just got back into working (16 hours a week) and the government are paying her creche costs - she just has to contribute £12 a week.

    Look into it - some places over FREE or subsidised creches - eg: some call centres, offices, colleges etc...
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!
  • Thank you :-) Am looking into everything and started applying for jobs with shift patterns so my hubby can have the kids.

    All feels a little over whelming, especially as I'm still finding out about debt that I didn't know about.
  • If it all does get overwhelming and you find yourself distressed with calls or letters, or becoming depressed or arguing with your partner - seriously consider going on a debt management plan - Yes you have to pay a monthly fee - but you will get hardly any contact from your creditors and the stress just go's

    All the best. xx
