    Also have you claimed any benefits you may be entitled to as you say your wage pays for everything tax credits and child benefit.

    We are not entitled to anything but child benefit as my wage is seen as enough for the 3 of us. Which with the debts it obviously isn't.

    Is there any reason why he cant look for work and put the child in nursery for even part time hours.


    Or find some king of work to do while youre at home. Evenings, weekends, pub work, chippie, night work at a supermarket.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    He has been looking for work for the last 3 years albeit no success.
    Don't see the relevance anyway to what you are suggesting as nursery costs a small fortune and would easily cancel out any wage he earned putting us in even more debt!! He would not ever earn much more than minimum wage as he has no qualifications.
    I work permenant nights so evenings etc out of the question.

    You obviously don't realise we don't have any kind of life quality, can't go out, can't buy new clothes shoes etc. Spending our life paying bills and debts and nothing else. Don't need nursery fees to add to it all thanks, pointless suggestion, sorry.
