    It seems reasonable to me. Whilst you have to pay it back, it is money to live on. And why would you not take it? It's the cheapest loan you can get.

    You or your wife can. Nurserys are open from 7am-6pm mon-fri. Im sure there are plenty jobs out there which will be within those hours.

    Guys thanks for comments.... The problem is/was that never occurred to me that the loan is considered as income. There was this first shock... but done some reading and is clear that was mentioned and is there to support.
    Thank you again.
