    I can't see any room to shave off your expenditure (sorry!) so the answer would be to try and increase your income.

    Are you entitled to any tax credits or anything as you are living on one income? :confused: Otherwise, have you tried using the cashback sites (Quidco, Topcashback etc) for extra money? There are lots of offers on there that give cash without needing to spend anything.

    Unfortunately, with cashback sites you need to wait a few months to get your hands on the money, so nothing immediate. :(

    Would it be possible for you to work in any capacity. :confused: (Sorry - I don't know your personal circumstances.)

    Good luck anyway and let us know how you get on. xx
