    SORRY YOU HAVE LOST ME,
    What you posted has no relevance to the OP's post and topic of the thread asking for advice, better to start your own thread rather than jump in on someone else's thread.

    I think people would be fascinated to understand the relevance of your story to the thread?

    if you have a new question then you create your own new thread using the big red 'New Discussion' button at the top. If you have something to add to an ongoing discussion then you post on the end of that discussion.
    Writing all in capitals is seen as shouting so you should avoid that.

    if you are in a discussion the red box says New Post and you contribute to that discussion.
    If you are up one level looking at all the different discussions under Loans then the box changes to say New Discussion and then you can create your own question with a meaningful title

    I've cut outgoings to an absolute bare essentials but my daughter has medical needs which are very expensive so that takes up a large chunk of my outgoings every month. Got approx £4500 cash in the bank 

    Seeing that no-one else has asked I will. Do you live in the UK. What medical needs are you spending a large chunk of your outgoings on every month. Something the NHS doesn't deem necessary?
