Aaarg flippin money. Or lack of it!

[Unlikelyamazonian]

Just had a look at the money situation as i have had to cut down on cleaning job because I need two small ops on my hands soon...

After all bills are paid including CM, and food, I am left with 90 quid a month for everything else...that's things like petrol, clothes and shoes for ds, packet of chewing gum, fixing anything that goes wrong (car battery just died and that cost me £104!!)

I hate being so bloody skint. I know I won't be alone in this.

I haven't even bothered putting 'going out' on list of extras, as I don't go out. Or v. rarely.

Thanks god for X factor and Strictly.

Bastard ex.

If sucks doesn't it :(

Have you checked whether you're entitled to more benefits due to less income? Are you getting WTC & CTC? If your income goes down and you are still doing 16 or more hours you may get more money from them. Also see if you're entitled to help/more help with council tax and housing benefit now your income is lower. Remember to tell them your child care costs as these get taken into account in the calculations.
