    yes i spend the childcare grant on the house repairs. i know how much of an idiot i am, please don't make me feel any worse than i do already. it just seemed to have slowly disappeared with costs.

    reducing nursery hours will not do much to help. its £150 pw full time or £140 pw part time. i think the full time places are subsidised by the university.

    mortgage company won't let us take a holiday break. we do not have the correct mortgage product for breaks apparently.

    i have made an appointment with funding advisor to appeal the decision, but don't know how long this will take.

    i did not make any "improvements" to my house, just fixed the damage. there was damage to the outside plastering and bricks, the roof and because of this damage then there was moisture damage/funny mould growing in my daughters bedroom which needed treated and replastered. its not like i fancied redecorating and bought new wallpapers and furniture. i just brought my house back to a fit state to live in, and it sucked all my money up.

    The University is not there to pay for your house repairs.
