I hope all philippinas that are dreaming of a better life in the u.k are reading this story ,as patrick is pointing out its very expensive to live on just a single salary in the u.k .when baby comes along it gets a little bit better as you can claim family credit on her behalf ,but when baby comes along so does the living expenses .thats why so many brits are heading the opposite direction because of the cost of living .we are in an economic meltdown and its gonna get a lot worse before it gets better its not much fun trying to live in the u.k on benifits .Anyway young patrick i hope your situation improves for you both .
