I think we'll have to Lulu!
As I'm at uni full time and I start work part time next year it will be a stretch (my ex had been paying the while amount previously but busniess is bad so we've been going further behind each week so something needed to give either way)
So yeah, I'm not sure we have a choice but it would be REALLY helpful to be able to at least help him out with a few hundred a week. We've done the maths every way we can think of and if I move out and pay rent somewhere else I won't be able to help him with repayments and then he won't be able to afford it.
And putting a kitchen in is going to cost us a mint!!
