I am a single parent (have been for 15 years) and this is the first time I feel I wont have enough money for food in January.
I work 30 hours a week in the community- I have to put petrol in my car to do my job but how can i buy petrol when I cant feed my 2 children
I made sure I put enough money in electric meter from December wages.
I have cancelled rent direct debit -£450 but I will go into the office and pay £350 as I don't want to get to far behind. This will allow other direct debits to go out which include water and TV license.
I have not had any child support for the last 6 months which I realise I was stupid to relay on but it helps towards everyday living. CSA don't seem to bothered when I phone them and just tend to give me false hope which comes to nothing.
What can i feed my children age 15 and 9 so they are full up and not looking for extras.
