A single mummy friend and I have recently started speaking about doing a house share together; we really enjoyed our holiday together last week, and our girls loved it too.

How have other single parents went about doing a house share, how many of the parents were claiming housing benefits, and has anyone found that it helped more by having at least one parent working at least part time?

Many thanks xXx

Hi CleverMummy2012

I think that a house share is a fabulous idea, sharing costs, childcare, cooking etc, however I never had the guts to do it when my daughter was younger.

Over in Local Info quite a few people have been advertising houseshares, it might be worth posting on their threads to see if they have any insights, I remember one person said that they had done it before.

I am not sure about the benefits side of things, but you could ask our Benefits expert

I would be interested to hear how it goes :)
