That's it, I give up!! I am tring so hard and nothing good is coming of it!!

I lost 3 sisters I was minding on the 23/11. For 4 weeks before they left up til now I have been advertising everywhere, spreading the word etc and nothing. It's so quiet!

So, it's impossible for me to live off the £85 a week I'm earning at the mo so gone off to claim for housing benefit. Great! But the first payment won't be until after Xmas. So called up loan company to change payment date to end of Dec which they agreed to. Also able to sign on for JSA because working under 16 hours at the moment.

I've called up bill companies and asked if they would mind changin the payment date so the next one will come out in the new year and alot have agreed. I've done everything I can plus searching for evening work.

But is this enough fr my D(HA!)H?? NO!! Now he wants me to go to my Grandparents and ask to borrow £2k!!!! We don't need that kind of money! I've just abouts squeezed us through a tight corner and he still wants more!!

What a pain to lose the 3 sisters so close to Christmas-things probably are a bit more quiet at the moment as people are maybe thinking about getting Christmas over and done with-hope you get some more enquiries in the New Year.

Sounds like you have really tried to be organised with your financial situation-how irritating that your DH is so unappreciative-why borrow more money-it's just more to pay back-maybe he's hoping that they will think of it as a gift!

Hope you get things sorted out.
