    I saw a few ads for exchanges on Gumtree I'd that helps. Ask in the council where you want to move to. Once you both agree to move there shouldn't be an issue

    If you have had a change in circumstances, you should be asking the council to facilitate a transfer.

    If you only have one child then a two bed is all you are entitled to. You don't need a big table, get a breakfast bar.

    Are you related to the 10 year old? If not, consider evicting it and grab more space for yourselves.
