Hi,
I want to be able to work full time but I'm stuck not being able to get a job that pays enough to survive. I'm better off working self-employed and getting Tax Credits which is just rubbish. Especially as my business isn't bringing in a regular income.
My budgeting is terrible but I don't get enough in to even cover my bills so that's not helping.
Any ideas on what I can do?
