A question about : Really quite scared...

Hi there,

My partner and I are expecting our first child in January 2015. I've been following the money saving expert advice for quite some time, as I got myself into a fair amount of debt when I was younger and am still paying it off now.

So with regards to my bills and repayments, i'm at bare minimum, I can't cut them back any further.

I was going through our joint potential income after the baby has been born, and I really am afraid that we won't be able to afford to live at all.

A question about : advice on contact please

Hi everyone,

My partner has a 5yr old son with his ex partner, they have been split 2years now. Contact is very inconsistent and we just wanted some advice whether theres anything he can do about this.

A question about : CSA

Good evening,

I would like to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue and how it was resolved.

For the last 3 years I have been paying the same amount, on the same day, and without fail to my ex for my children. This was done through the CSA, however, in December we went from paying through them to paying directly because my ex was being made to wait 2 - 3 weeks every time.

A question about : what alternatives to expensive Drynites?

My 4 year old son is not yet dry at night so we rely upon the use of Drynites for his comfort and to save on constant laundry etc etc.
The darn things are just so expensive though.. are there any alternatives that won't break the bank?? Any of the other pull-up types seem to be so expensive, why?! (We tried a cheaper alternative a while ago but it didn't do its job properly at all which was kind of disastrous )
