Hi, hoping to get some advice.
I left my partner one year ago and have been staying with family in another part of the country. After our house sold I used my share of the sales proceeds to buy a small place for me and my 5 year old.
Before I left, I had just started my first job after being a sahm for a few years. I had to quit as I was moving too far away. Now I'm back in the area, I am looking for work, and am recieving the standard UC allowance and child benefit. Up until I left I was not entitled to child benefit or anything so I am very unfamiliar with the system, but I believe I am claiming all that I can.
The cost of moving was much greater than I anticipated and after being hit with a completely unexpected extra fee yesterday, I now have no money left for the next two weeks. My overdraft is £100 but that's all gone. I should manage to feed us both with what I have in, but I am panicking about bills that might come in the meantime.
Even if I start a job tomorrow (which won't happen), I wouldnt get paid for a month. Is there anything I can do online to earn money quickly? I have been doing surveys and obviously they don't pay much. I just am scared about what I'll do until the next payment comes through. I keep thinking the whole internet is right here, there must be a way to earn some money from it. But I have no idea where to start. Is there anything out there? I am so worried. Even when I get the money in two weeks, the majority of it will be end up going straight back out again so I'm very very scared.
