The Evil Thing Called Money!

[Mummy1995]

How do you make it work? I still don't get anything from Isabella's 'dad' and it really angers me. I wouldn't mind but I'm really struggling right now. And he's probably laughing at me for it. But it's not funny I hardly have the money to put food on the table for her let alone anything else . I've used up all my life savings and right now I have more money going out than coming in. Went overdrawn this week which cost me £30 which is a week food shopping for Isabella or a new pair of shoes for her which she needs soon

How can I work it out?

Feeling so stressed xx

Have you tried the csa route? My ex gives me about £4o a month. Not much but it covers stuff. Xx

Or is it your fob that is a student? Xx

Are you claiming everything you can claim, milk vouchers, money towards your heating.

I called and they never got back to me. I called in September

Although I'm nearly 100% sure he doesn't work and I think he's at college. Just can't wait til my student loan comes through

Don't wait for CSA to call you hun. Call them on a regular basis, put a rocket up their arses and get something off him.

Apart from that, how about selling off old baby stuff that LO has grown out of on e-bay? toys, clothes, bouncers etc all sell well. I actually made £400 last month on selling on e-bay, seriously, its amazing!

Also, other ways to make money or save money is to become e.g a mystery shopper or product tester. My Mum used to do this when she first retired and she would just eat out at places for free!

Try out quidco.com and lots of places that have vouchers available. Its a pain to scrimp and save but it can be done with perseverance and a little goes a long way.

Hugs xx

I don't know your situation but I you have any family or friends as support can you get a part time job or a temp job? That's what I've alway don't when things get tight

I've also sold my crochet , knitting and sewing to make some extra cash. And couponing help.

If baby needs new clothes or shoes , second hand stores help a lot kids grow out of stuff so fast
