I'm finding it really hard right now also. Now being home with 3 kids i figured that's where i'd be until DS1 is at least in school but i'm already thinking of ways i can also contribute. Along with DH's pay we're currently receiving ftb a&b and the bb but i'm sure that's going to run out pretty soon. I hate barely having any pay left from the min it hits the account.

I've been meaning to look up the threads where there are budgeting ideas and money saving tips but i find it so difficult to get the chance. Got to do it though because things are so so tight right now.

Peanutter you have some great tips there, i may also give it a try.
