Hi, i feel soooo low cant stop crying, sorry i just feel worthless, i have a girl who turned 2 yest and im 24+ weeks pregnant and was self employed, actually selling goods on behalf of someone but this morning was cruelly told that hes not bothering now with me as he has a website and someone else does that so bye bye. What the hell do i do now, whos gunna want to employ me plus with partner working 8am til 6pm 30 miles from home and no family nearby and no car how am i going to get a job, specially in the predicament im in. What can i do, i need to be earning, i have a loan of £150 a month to pay and i pay for gas n electric and groceries etc, simply cannot afford to not be earning a penny

I'm so sorry. Aren't you covered by the same maternity laws as someone employed within a company? I'm sure there is a site that would give advice on this, but I wouldn't have a clue as to where to look myself. Hopefully someone else on here will though.

Sorry to hear about your job.

Try using this site www.acas.org.uk they have a helpline & offer really good impartial advice on employment law.
