Thanks for the post. Yours is the sort I was expecting not all that other stuff posted above. I want to hear from people like me and you affected in the Building Trade !

I am sorry to hear of the council tax court thing. That happened to us last year all because I missed one payment but when it went to court it was all sorted out and they added the arrears to the outstanding payments so that wasn't as bad as I expected. However, it ain't nice and I am thinking of you.

Your friend clearly is very lucky to have all that help with childcare etc. Like you when my kids were small, I did not have that luxury !

Just to let you know that I am in the same boat as you and send you a big supportive hug !

I work within the motor trade and that is certainly seeing a downturn in sales, other traders have been sending us lists of their stock which just isn't moving and calling to see if there is anything we want.

Just how do you do a SOA when you haven't a clue how much money could be coming in?

Thanks for that. my other half is a digger driver. Construction does pay well. but lets face it, they could say to him don't come back tomorrow there's not enough work (and firms have done that in the past).....scary.
