No income as he is currently unemployed and no benefits as I earn to much (yeah right lol) Only thing we could get is working tax credit which works out at 23p a week so not worth it to be honest
Car insurance is high as I only have 1 yrs no claims and the area I live is also an issue, due for renewal very soon so should be reduced with 2yrs no claims, also we are planing on moving to a completely new area, to be nearer to my family, which I have done a check on and that will also reduce it. Car is needed for work especially if we move as it would be a 60mile round trip until I found a job closer to were we move to0
