Single parent in a private rented house that is far too much bloody rent per month! I work 24hrs a week not including the overtime I try & put in & the training that my employer sets up. All my sodding money goes to childcare! Why do I bother working? What do I see of that money? Nothing. The day my wages go in, my rent comes out leaving me with £100 to do the food shop then after that the child tax, working tax & child benefit goes either on bills or childcare fees. Makes me so bloody angry! I feel like im working for nothing in return. Having a bit of a meltdown at the moment & not enjoying 2014 so far at all. I was hoping by feb my luck would change. It hasn't. I would just like to cry. I feel better now I've got that off my chest though.
