Debt Free in 15 years.

Probably the worst 12 months of my life.

Pre warning this is as much for me to get it out and have a rant as it is to ask for advice. So sorry in advance. 12 months ago today, literally today. I got the keys to my house (Own). After splitting with the mother of my daughter I used my savings as a deposit and spent the rest renovating/starting again with furnishings and such. All was well, other than the break up and struggling as a 50/50 custody working parent.

Then business earnings started to drop I had enough to still live on and no debt other than the mortgage so it wasn't the end of the world. Then I get a 7.5k corporation tax bill. Completely wipes company bank account. 3 months later 6.5k personal tax bill. Had to setup a payment plan for that. Still got 2 payments left on it. Month after that 1.4k bill from accountants (Still to be paid).

I managed to get myself a part time job literally a mile from home just working 16 hours a week the days I don't have my daughter. This brings around £550 a month. The money the company is making 90% of that goes straight to the payment plan and the earnings are dropping month on month as I'm able to work on it less/change of market.

Paying back tax from my best year ever out of earnings from my worst year ever is really something else. Especially after having to fork out to start my life again after the break up.

On top of this my mother was diagnosed with cancer a few months back which appears to get worse every time she has a new treatment or scan. My car died on me a few months back and had to be replaced too.

I'm literally at the point of auctioning off my possessions on ebay just to be able to make my direct debit payments and have been like this for probably 8-10 weeks now.

I'm at the point now where I'm not sure I can take much more. Thought I had enough to cover the month then boom £45 ebay selling fees destroys my plan. Very little food in the house. Literally not a penny in my wallet. My ex has been kind enough to lend me £10 so I have enough for my next bill coming out on monday but with another 4 at the end of the month it's just feeling like an endless battle.

I work my own business when my daughter is sleeping and working for someone else when she's at her mothers. I can't have her in nursery my days as I can't afford it and her mother already uses her free hours.

I'm apparently not entitled to any help. Although the ex has started giving me £34 a week as of a month ago, to help out (half child benefit/child tax) which has really really helped.

I just don't know what to do. Tempted to sell the car but then can't pickup/drop off my daughter or get to work (no public transport to it).

I just keep thinking "Only 2 payments left" but then remember the accounting fees too. So I'm probably going to be in this same position for at least another 3-4 months. I'm honestly at my whits end.

The idea of just being able to walk into asda and not worry about what I put in the trolley can't leave my mind. I keep thinking of supermarket sweep haha. I can't even afford to take my little one to soft play at the moment. Luckily it's starting to warm up so we can use the play parks more.

Any words of encouragement or advice?
