    Walking is not the only option! I also suggested a moped or public transport.

    Walking was suggested for taking the kids to school.

    You are really up against it and can't continue with your current lifestyle. I think you know this. Suggestions have been made but no-one can magic you more income.

    What about car sharing schemes with work colleagues.:T

    Public transport is not viable as i have to be at work 15 minutes after dropping the children at school and a bus would take approx an hour as i would have to go into the nearest town first then another bus out to the village where i work. There are only 20 people where i work and the hours i work (part time) make it difficult to car share. OMG i didn't realise i was in that much trouble to consider making myself bankrupt !

    I have a seven seater and car share with a few people. I pick them all up from one place and they all pay me £5 each a week:money:

    Just as a side note you say you have a mortgage but no buildings insurance I always thought that you had to have buildings insurance if you have a mortgage - I may be wrong other people feel free to correct me.

    Would reiterate the suggestion to contact CCCS or one of the other non-charging organisations for help, and look at a DMP. Otherwise, shortly bankruptcy may be your only option, Sorry to sound hard but that is how your situation appears.
