    Oh no :( Was it out of the blue? Will you still get maternity pay?

    I'm so sorry, milocat. You have such a lot on your shoulders already. I hope this makes your partner buck up and start bringing in more money.

    Sorry you lost your job! Sounds like you have a plan though.

    Hope BT were a bit more understanding.

    You're too hard on yourself *disapproving face* Well done on getting another job - sounds like just the thing for a pregnant lady :) How many weeks are you now?

    Surely now you are unemployed you can put in for housing benefit and council tax benefit? Might help a bit. Why could stepchange not help you? Just curious. If they can't have you thought of trying Payplan?
