Redundant - dont know where to start

[tariawen]

Hi all. Feeling lost.
Been made redundant from my work from home job that i have had for the last 5 years with a payment that will only last a couple of months. Have no idea where to go from here. Ill never find another job that fits around childcare like this one did.

im a single parent with no income from today. several outgoings, rent, have some debts, 4 kids to feed, some little, no childcare help. doubt ill be entitled to anything as ive got a small redundancy payment.

What does everyone do from here?

Ive seen a few jobs that are based at home where you need a good internet connection. Proving audio typing transcripts, creating CVs, "chat" support box that appears on company websites etc
