You should also be able to get Family assistance, but it will depend on your DH's wage and your wage for the financial year.

The fortnightly baby bonus has helped us 'survive' but had we had a lump sum, we would already have finished things off (e.g gates for the yard to keep DD in, and the last security door).

Some suggestions in other threads have been to try and live on single wage now and save yours, or pay off as much as you can (e.g credit cards, store cards, car loans). We have our mortgage, a credit card, and an investment loan that we are paying. We made sure everything else was paid while I was still working.
