We have a similar company where we live that collect unwanted furniture from houses and sell it on. Theres also freecycle.

You will probably find that when the time comes, family and friends will help you out a
lot anyway.

Dont worry, there WILL be a sollution for you and you WILL manage.

Hi Look Divine :)

Whe you check about accommodation with the local council, also find out if you're entitled to any benefits. I *think* there's a reduction in council tax if you're on your own. And possibly free school meals for the children. Every little helps - I sound like a tv ad [:D]

And do check Freecycle when the time comes, it can be very useful.

Good luck :)

You get a 25% reduction in council tax if you are the only adult at the address.

I agree with Plasticdaft ... this could be the start of a whole new life experience, and the best thing that could have happened for you if things are as bad as you see. We are all rooting for you and will be here to offer what support we can Look Divine. In the mean time contact an IVA practitioner as soon as you can for more solid advice for your case.
