PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Why not get one of those wireless credit card readers to take card payments? I would never take a cheque unless it was backed with a cheque card and under £50, or take cash like others say.
Cheque cards have finished now when expiry date has ended so most people haven't got them any more.
According to the type of clientelle husband has is how he can be paid. EG if he deals with businesses they probably will not pay cash.
Do your SOA on the board - no-one knows who you are - your username does not give any details unless you have given information on a thread previously.
You will get some people who say crappy things like 'you shouldn't have 4 kids'. Ignore them, they still think kids should go up chimneys!!
Good luck.:)0 -

The MSE budget planner is an excellent tool for you to get a full handle on your income and expenses, providing a baseline for you to work through the website to identify how to up your income,double check your benefit entitlements and slash your living expenses.
As well as the Debt Free wanabee board, which is a very supportive forum, the Direct Gov website is a good starting point for you to do something pro-active about your debts.
As you are now aware, rent is one of the few bills that are paid first. "Rent arrears are 'priority debts', which means the consequences of not dealing with them are serious - there is a risk of eviction."
