to think there's something I'm missing

Regular poster, freaking out here so I can keep it together later.

DP lost his job a few months ago and has just started a new job. Yay
I'm self-employed, just beginning to make a profit, but with no income this week due to school holidays.
While being unemployed my DP was not eligible for benefits and picked up freelance work here and there. He is currently awaiting payment by several clients, some of whom are late paying.

So, DP is two weeks into the new job and both completely skint -me due to half term and funding DP's (and my own) travel last week. The plan was for us to use DP's freelance income this week. But it seems more and more likely that despite chasing his clients will take their time paying.
Soooo, what the fuck are we going to do? I will list a few things on ebay, have put adverts on local fb groups that i'm available for babysitting but this is all a bit hit and miss.
Aibu to think we can somehiw get through this week. Any tips very welcome.

I've had a text from DP telling me he's been promised payment by one client. He will check his balamce whwn he gets home.
Fingers crossed.
