Help - we feel like we've done everything we can, and we're still piling on the debt!

What a good idea, seven-day-weekend!

Another idea that yours sparked off is - does the school that The Boy goes to have any boarders? There are schemes for boarders to stay at people's homes at weekends/holidays and for them to be befriended, and you get paid for this - don't know how much, but it would be possibly more socially acceptable for Dad to "take in/help out" another boy from The Boy's school than any Tom/!!!!!!/Harry, as he might see it ..... If you could ask the school if they ever need anyone for this sort of "help", you never know - they might be praying for someone like you! It can't hurt to offer to help them out ....

just a thought

Also, there are foreign language students who need lodgings, you could always ask around at any big firms in the area - you could be "starting up a new business", which you would be, in fact - to see if they have members of staff who would appreciate a [relatively] cheap and welcoming B&B. The idea being that the company pays you and the chap/ess turns up and it's all paid for for him/her already. Saves the company a lot of hassle, ditto for him/her.

I'll keep coming up with ideas, if you'd like.

ps if OH says he doesn't want anyone in his home, you could gently point out that unless you do - he won't have a home to not have anyone in at all very soon Tough but true

Also, how about registering your cv on a website so that potential employers can contact u - amazing how many phone calls you can get!

Sorry for butting in on BR's thread, but . . . . . really??

I am facing a very real possibility of redundancy at the moment, so would be interested if you could recommend any online sites. I'm already registered with the one (wow!) agency in our town.

thanks - and sorry BR, for jumping in on your thread.

Well done BR on all the really positive changes you have made so far - be proud of what yopu have so far saved!:beer:

My OH had his CV on there, it was spotted and he was emailed; I saw the email and applied and got the job. Bingo.

WooHOO!!!

Some good news!!!

I did two days work last week (Mon-Tues) and got paid today. i was expecting two day's pay (as you would), but no..I got £288!!!!!
I rang the agency and asked them about this cos i didn;t want to be spending money that they would then want back.
She checked her details and said it looked ok, but asked if she could ring me back. Well, she just has and after checking with the IR, it turns out to be
correct...so it feels like I've got some 'free' money - a tax rebate!!!
