I'm the same, I'm got a new job which pays more and I told the WTC and they have now said I'm entitled to nothing! I'm now so much worse off than I was having a lower paid job!

I'm forking out over 700 nursery fees (inc the 30 free hours), rent, usual bills. I have no, what I deem luxuries such as sky, netflix etc.. I've cancelled them all. I have literally left over what I need for fuel & food with absolutely nothing spare and because my o/h went AWOL I'm also left paying off all the credit bills!

Nothing :( we are very lucky we don't have a mortgage or rent to pay because if we did we'd be screwed. We have no debts or credit cards just bills and food wipes us out. I feel I'm not doing 'adult' very well most of the time. At least we have a house that's ours though so I don't complain
