Gigi, someone around here posted that some agencies (not sure who) can help contribute a little towards weekly rent in your circumstances, if you could find out it would really help.

Will you have net access? You can also get a small amount from CL to help with phone/net costs. If you will, the best thing you can do is arrange direct payments from your bank for your electricity/gas/phone etc on a fortnightly basis.

You won't necesarrily need to rely on agencies but there maybe lean times here and there, so it's nice to know they are there if you need it.

A part time job - even 1 or 2 days a week can really make a difference if you can manage it.

I know you budget very well, and that's the main skill to have
