To have just come home and cried

My business is failing miserably, online retail, which I spent 5 years building up and just bought a house on the strength of, relocating area in the process. My accountant has messed up, meaning I owe £6k this month and a further £3k in July.

My husband works shifts, no pattern to them ata all, so I have had to take the only job I can to keep our heads above water, cleaning.

My father is terminally ill, so I need to be available to my parents a fair bit too.

I have done cleaning before, but on my first day I have worked my self mad, for the grand sum of £31 after tax. I have just walked through the door and cried my eyes out. Poor DS, knows how disappointed I am about the business failing, but hate him to see me upset. Will have to carry on with it in the short term but just feel pissed off today.

I would echo the advice to contact HMRC, they can be very helpful. I would also suggest contacting Business Link and seeing if they have any useful advice - helping small businesses is part of their reason for existing.
