A question about : Dont really know where to go from here

I put this thread on HOuses, renting, selling but think perhaps it was the wrong group to put in on.

Hello, I am in a bit of a pickle at the moment and really dont know how to go about it. My saga is......... Sinlge mum, 48! My daughter has been at college for 3 years finished in July this year. When she became 19 in May this year. THe sh*t hit the fan cos, my financial world came crashing down, as in, housing benefit went down to single person, lost child tax credit, child benefit etc. And she tells me...Im pregnant mum :-(

So this is the situation.... I am now off sick by the doctors, have been for 2 months,( depression) get Ј71.00 per week, rent Ј750 pm. Get Ј43 per week HB. So just got lanlord to change tenancy to me renting a room also daughter got tenancy so now rent is Ј375 per month each. SO still too much and I have to move. Soooo, cant get council place, all be it went thru doctors with letter etc. Council say nope, no extra points for health. Cant save for a deposit.

I am at my wits end and feeling that I am unable to cope much longer.

Please, please, have anybody got any ideas they can throw in to the pot as I am so very desperate xxx
