Hi skellette,

There are loads of things you can do to help your situation. I think the plan of starting to live off the lower amount now is brilliant, but I would suggest putting the extra cash into a savings acount for emergencies.
Here's my advice:
*Try freecycle for clothing and baby items
*Join the local library
*Go to your local family centre-lots of free playgroups etc
*Look into childminders or other nurserys
*Contact the national Austic society
*look into what Tax Credits you can get based on different hours
* check out the Old style board for recipes
*have u joined pampers baby club? you get £3 worth of vouchers
*look at the freebies board for baby clubs
If your daughter is Austic then you can claim Disability living allowance, Will be entitled to more tax credits and can even get reduced rates on days out.
When does your daughter start school?
Find out when the new school's summer fete is-they usually have a second hand uniform display

Good Luck

Thanks lilly
My daughter is already in school she's in year one on her way up to year two. She's not yet officially been diagnosed we are just going through the many avenues and professionals my local support group told me it could take a couple of years

Ive joined freecycle and managed to get rid of a few things too

My little boy is in year 1 and he has suspected aspergus syndrome, so I know where your coming from!
Have you thought about looking into a fund called the community chest? You may be able to get funding for your daughter to do an activity. I am waiting to here if they have approved a one year swimming pass for my son. Its worth a try
