To be honest you are just as likely to get a kicking in Tooting as you are in Lewisham.

While that may be true, the £600 council tax saving and £60 travel savings make me want to stay.

Your expectations are vastly different from the reality of the situation you have found yourself in, ultimately you are going to have to step up and accept that you cant afford to live in these areas.

Plus you still havent said why you cant get family support, assuming what you have stated is true; you come from a good family, well educated parents who own their home, why cant they help you ?

And please stop being so harsh on me. There are alot worse in the world. I want to save for my own deposit. I could go to the council and ask them to pay it. At least I DO work, I don't refuse to and prefer to live on benefit. At least I am standing by this child and my partner and not walking away and letting the government pay maintenance. I am not a 'spoiled rich kid' as quite rightly, I am not rich. I live in Tooting not Mayfair.

Hope you're not referring to me there, I was the one above who said not to write off an area, go and look anyway - and have never criticised your situation by calling you spoilt etc etc. And the abortion thing, that's just my opinion - it's not for everyone. And, re: your point above, if you walked away, you would still be required to pay maintenance... although some still get away with not doing it!

They may own their own home, and they may be educated. It doesn't mean they have money to throw around.

And no sorry fleagle, I wasn't referring to you
