    Why do you "need" a car?

    Because i don't live close to any towns or doctors so if my baby is ill then i can't get her to a hospital very quickly.

    Many manage it OK.

    A car is not a human right, it is something you work to get.

    Can you move closer to a town? I imagine the rent is being paid for you have you applied for housing association properties closer to public transport.

    Lots of people can't get babies to hospital quickly so they ring an ambulance or they ring for patient transport or if not really an emergency then they call a taxi or get a lift from someone. If you are living in a country village you must have links to friends who have cars who can give you a lift.

    My baby is 6 weeks old so i can't check out "How to get a weekly pay check every week from the company" as it would be no use to me and thankyou but i don't pay for a cell phone service as i'm pay as you go so get credit when i really need it.

    A question that seemed to infer a rather large sense of entitlement.
