Gigi are you factoring in rent assitance?
oh yeh dont forget bein a single parent u get pension card which entitles u to discount on bills..
Gigi- hun my rent is not half of my money (prob would be but i have 3 children) One thing you are not takking into account is child support, dont forget he has to pay you.. he can not get out of it now. Centrelink has a child support estimator that you can use.
Unfort if the rent you pay is that high you will def have to cut back on luxuries, even compromise with where you live.
YOu could always visit me to have your Net fix I promise!!!
Its hard but there are services you can contact, The Smith family, the Salvation Army
and yes the pension card has its benefits, cheap prescriptions, you are entitled to a phone allowance, i get arrox $30 off my elect bill a mth, $30 of my rego renewel, then when ever concession is avaible you are entitled.
Being as you use MCN you will save a bundle as well
what is the opinion on CTs? i want to buy some but not sure whether its a risky investment or not :P
thanks Gigi - I've just bought a lilac mother ease one!
And Gigi you can come to Sydney on a bus trip holiday.... you have somewhere to stay ;) Food to eat and beds to sleep in!!!
Anna I haven't been too happy with the newborn magicalls but I find the smalls to be fine. I think it's because there isn't much of a soaker in them. Ruby is 3.6ish kilos and the small is a tad big on her but not for much longer I reccon.
I haven't got the newer haute pocket but had an older style one. It was fine on my broad little fella but he ended up being too big in the rise for it, though there was plenty of room around the middle.
Gigi from my observations there are narrow crotched nappies and there are nappies that are narrow in the crotch and the seat if that makes sense. Ittis are narrow in the crotch but have a wider seat than swaddlebees for example which is why I could use ittis but not sb's on Caleb ;)
:hug: for you too hun!
Rhoda there are a couple of nappies that shorten down to CT so tell us in longhand :)
WORB: itti bitti boo and maz cover
WOCB: air!
Gigi - I am so sorry its getting to that point for you babe.....Nessa had given you some good leads babe...and im sure she wont care if you ring her for any advice. You have to do for you and Bilby hon...not him!

Gigi hugs hun, didn't realise things were bad for you :( Best to do what's best for you and Bilby, it is an adjustment but you CAN do it. I have been doing it for 2 years now :)
