Please bear with me.
Due to circumstances out of our control, we lost our privately rented accommodation five months ago. We live in the middle of nowhere for context.
We've been living with my MIL since whilst desperately looking for accommodation but that's like hens teeth around here. We have two small children under 3. MIL isn't well (not terminal) and she said to me today that we can't live there anymore; she can't handle the noise and space we take up (we're all in one room, in one bed because it's a tiny room). This is totally fair enough and we're very grateful but after several frustrating phone calls, the bottom line is in four weeks (which is what she's given us) they'd have a duty to house us in emergency accommodation but that won't be within 40 miles. I work full time in said village but I don't have a car (can drive but can't afford a car) and DH has a chronic illness. He looks after the children but his sister has to help a lot until they go to nursery. If we move that far, we won't have the help and the bus fares will be about £20- £30 each day which I simply can't afford. What the hell can I do 
I'm a regular poster but have NC'd for this, I know it sounds too ridiculous to be true but it genuinely is.
