Thanks for all your help everyone!
After speaking to Linda this afternoon on the phone I've decided to speak to my friend and CDC Boobyjood about the possibility of her sponsoring me.
I'm also still thinking of becoming a registered childminder but am keeping my part time job at Asda just for the time being to make sure I can bring in enough money to cover the bills etc.
Thanks again for all your help and ideas!
