    For baby milk, ask your health visitor.

    For housing benefit, which is based on income, as you have zero income they should allow emergency payments, younare going to have to get across how desperate your circumstances are - they should have a " contact us" link at the bottom of your local gov's page. Find your loval gov website and then the housing benefit section and the email them from the contact us link.
    How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.
  • thanks i have emailed them it says expect a reply within 5 working day but i have started a new claim online just going to tell them what has happened. my head is a mess i cant think straight which isnt helping things but dont seem to be getting anywhere anyway, before i left i thought they would be loads of help for people in this situation no wonder woman just stay and put up with it. i feel like my life has gone worse now than what it was whilst i was at the house with him and now its the kids that have to suffer to

    Do you have a supermarket near to you? Maybe I can google it for directions. Or is there a landmark that I could find? I'm about thirty minutes drive away but have never been to Ashton before.

    There are lovely people on the forum, and I agree that it will get sorted. OP you are doing well to muddle through. Just a gentle reminder to be careful when arranging meets, bearing in mind others may be viewing the thread as well as the kindly donor, and as you will most likely have your children with you, you will be in a vulnerable position.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
