Help pay the bills and buy food!

Hi! My name is Andy Foster, I'm a miniatures sculptor who has run a tiny indie wargames miniatures maker for the last 23 years. Unfortunately, this means I can't afford to buy a home in the UK because our housing market is nuts, and the average starter home costs over 12 times what I make in a good year, so I am only able to rent.
And because the housing market IS so insane, rental property prices are also incredibly high, and I was abruptly told on the 4th of January that the house we have lived in for the last 10 years was having its rent increased by the landlord from £800 a month to £1175, which I absolutely couldn't afford to cover.
Thanks to your generous donations on this campaign so far, I was able to move myself and my wife to a smaller house that still costs £795 a month, which we love. It took 4 months to sort out the move from finding a house to dealing with the arguing over the deposit and it cost every penny raised on here, plus a loan had to be aranged. I could literally not have coped without you guys chipping in, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

But thanks to a further 3 months of chaos caused by the panic to find a new place, add to that a massive downturn in sales from my business and I am already struggling to find the money to cover the interest payments and loan repayments, so please help out if you possibly can! Any amount helps, no matter how small - if it buys a box of eggs, we can eat eggs!

IMPORTANT: the total raised previously has all gone, on the cost of moving, and on bills and of course, interest on the huge overdraft I have incurred this year with the combination of moving costs and downturn in sales. I NEED your help if you possibly can - any amount you can spare will help me find money for food and electricity, or help towards the monthly rent, even if it's just a few pounds!
