Back to the original post, I owe my mums bf £940...
He bought my car. I finish college in June, so I intend to have it all paid back by Christmas. Also owe my mum £200 for my sound system, which I know I shouldn't have bought, but I didn't even have rear speakers!!!!! I was on mono audio, the left speaker in the drivers side didn't work.

u must be on a good wage then,to be able to pay child care fees rent/mortgage bills etc.. on a single wage?
surely ur claiming working/child tax credits.
i have 3 kids,and i know for sure i could not survive without working/child tax credits

She might still live at home and a parent looks after her kid
I think u have to be earning over 15k or near that to not be eligable for the working tax credits and nursery fees

yeah its ok if she has that kind of support,where as u dont, so its not as easy for u having to leave ur child with a stranger.

or maybe she has gone out and earned enough so she can afford her own place aswell as look after her kid without turning to the Govt. for handouts.

If that is her situation then she is very lucky!
I have no problem leaving Rhys at a nursey while I worked, have no choice really when I get a job as I have no-one else who could help me

I wouldnt worry, thats why nurseries are in business as there are lots and lots of families out there whose parents work and their kids go in until they are home from work.
