    A bridging loan would have been the answer for our short term cash flow problems, but the stupid new laws have put pay to any idea of that!

    Stupid new laws is a financially illiterate view. Everybody that has a cash flow problem starts short term. Then degenerates from there.
    The new regulation is to protect borrowers from there own over optimism. Long overdue in my book.

    Maybe the credit card is the best option....

    Have you considered Wonga?

    to follow on with everyone else's comments I really do think you should consider a state school. Children at state schools also succeed with input from their parents and a supportive stable background. Research from numerous education charities put home stability as a better indicator of success than individual schools and teachers. The teachers in a private school are no better than those in a public schools however, the reason public schools succeed is due to the backgrounds of the children within them. Children with good backgrounds also succeed at state schools.


    Your children will not thank you for being stressed and worried about money later on in life. Especially when they are just as likely to end up in the same job as their state school friends (unless you are sending them to eton.. where it's not what you learnt but who you sat next to....)
