One wage does it ever get better

[Donut22]

I've been a lone parent most of my childrens life's, I've tried to do my best for them and I'm continually trying to do better. But tonight life funking sucks.
I don't want a partner I'm not sad about that. It's the help, I've just been turned down on a house after 8years of bidding.... 8years or sharing a room with my 2 girls who deserve the world not a tiny mouldy flat and they turn around and say oh no sorry actually you can't afford that. (Which I bloody well could) I try and work has much has a can but it's not enough..... Will it ever be? So upset

Oh sorry OP. I saw your post earlier and was hoping so much you’d get the house. So sorry for your situation is a new career possible? Maybe with a bit more income you could get where you need to be x

I didn’t want to read and scroll by, so I just want to say I’m so sorry. Single mum of two here too, so get what you mean about not missing a partner, just the help.

I really hope things will get better for you and your girls soon.

Does your current landlord have any other properties in your price range, and if not, can they give a good reference? I’m not sure which part of the country you’re in, but can you contact somewhere like Shelter? Or an organisation that provides housing support, so you have an advocate? Are you with social housing? Can they help with HomeSwapper or increase your banding because of the mold?

Good luck

I’m with you.

I’m a single parent, my income is 30K yet I’m being told by estate agents that I can’t afford £800 in rent. I pay £900 now What they actually mean is that they want TWO adults working.

I’m bidding on council places as I’m passed my S21 but demand is so high that the council kindly offered to send me on a workshop today to show me how to look for private rents Patronising arseholes.

Oh I seen your other post I think I’m sorry you didn’t get it
