really fed up..................what to do???

[smeeinit]

checked my bank account this morn and its £102 overdrawn AGAIN!(i dont have an overdraft so HUGE charges will be wacked on) with not enough money coming in at mo im soooo sick of struggling.

ive held out for so long trying to build up my buisness but i dont know how much longer i can go on,my car payments have been paid since early feb,my phone has been cut off,we eat crap every day and im fed up with it!!

what to do? i really dont want to give up childminding,i have 3 before and after schoolers and i have a baby starting end of may for 2 days a week but its not enough to keep my head above water. i love cming so much and have put my all into making a go of it but 2years on im struggling for mindees.

im so fed up,i simply cant go on like this.

well im not the only one then!

i hate this part of the job,really does make me wonder if its worth carrying on

were you working before you became cm,, cos there was lots of financial help availbale for me from job centre, i actually get £40 per week to top up my wages for the first year as long as i dont earn over 15'000..surely there must be some kind of top up available for you.xxx

yes ive always worked pinkchick since my boys were little,have had to being a single mum!
not sure if i would qualify for the top up if ive not just returned to work.

my mums money took about 5 wks
got a letter after 4 wks and money went in bank and took 4-5 days to clear

dmo which bank was your mum with?

I went into the jobcentre to ask if i could put a poster up and they said no - really helpful as ever

WFTC don't even get me started

If i don't get more business soon my dp is going to make me go back out to work eve's and wkends again - last time i did that i worked 30days straight - not good! I want to avoid that at all costs.

I've been in town today and have put posters up in shop staffrooms - perhaps try that, I feel worse if im not pro-actively doing something abut my situation.

mum with tsb bank
wish we had gone overdrawn now then i could have a load of money front garden needs doing up
