    Firstly, try not to put yourself down! We all get in a mess from time to time!

    Get a cuppa and try and stick up your statment of affairs so we can be of more help.

    Do you have a spare room you could rent out? Or temporarily share with your daughter to let a language student stay with you for a few weeks? can you nag the agencies to find you more temp work/a permenant role?

    Hey Fay, try to calm down, sorry if this has been asked or done before but have you posted an SOA?

    Also I know how you feel re temping, no guarantee of work is a nightmare.
    Have you looked for permanent work?


    Also stop beating up on yourself, you are the one that can sort your life out, so really you need to be on your side, i know ive been there before.

    Also why would you lose your daughter if you move back with parents?

    Finially are you claiming all the benefits you can for you and your child?

    Shineyhappy, you beat me to it!

    I agree, please don't put yourself down. Can't do any more than offer support at the mo. The Knowledgeable Ones will definitely need a SoA, though.
