Sorry to hear about your situation mate, must be a difficult time.

In general any home-working schemes which require YOU to stump up cash up front are cons.

Have you contacted your local authority to see if they can help? Being a single father must mean you're entitled to some financial help until you can find more work???

i am entitled to the usual, housing benefit , council tax allowance and income support aswell as the usual tax credits and child benefits, troubles is it only equates to enough to barely cover all the bills, had a cosy number working 2 days a week as a metalworker fabricator which earnt me an extra Ł150 a week , just enough to be abkle to do things with my boy and not worry too much at the checkouts!

ANYTHING "Working from home earn extra money, although they may not be a scam they are a waste of time.
You'll spend all week stuffing envelopes for 50p, or assembling items that get rejected.

Delivering Yellow pages isn't too bad but only lasts a few days.
