Budget living woes

Hi all, I sold the carrier that I should never have bought, and also sold some live role play costume that I'm not using any more. The funds just vanished into the current account and seemingly didn't touch the sides. This month would have been horribly sparse without that extra coming in. I really am freaking out about how we are going to manage on the DMP budget for another 6 years.  DD1's bargain birthday went pretty well, the only traumas were the sort that overwrought 6 yr olds cause and nothing to do with any debt / lack of money issues. We are incredibly lucky that my Dad is able to help us financially, and last week he bailed us out again when our car broke a spring and needed £250ish of repairs. I am equally mortified that age 37 I am still needing his help and pathetically grateful that he can help out when we need him to. DMP wise we are waiting to hear from creditors who CCCS will have contacted re the new lower payment offers since we lost our child tax
