Is it realistic for me to find somewhere to live in the East midlands area and manage to pay bills and childcare on £1700 a month? I've had to move back in with my parents whilst on maternity pay as its not enough to pay for rent, bills and food etc. I have a feeling its not realistic, I feel so upset and frustrated that even though I have a full time job I can't afford to live in this country. Any advice appreciated
