Wages don't cover the basic bills

Hi. I have recently moved in with my girlfriend.And 2 children. We are both part time self employed and we earn about £200 a week combined.

Apparently we are entitled to £63 pw child tax credits.
And that is all we are entitled to
This brings our income to £263

Basic bills
Rent. £83.
Council tax £27
Gas and electric £35
Dinner money for kids £30
Shopping £80
Car insurance and fuel £40

And we are already way over.!!!

How on earth are we supposed to live?

How do people on the dole afford big TVs
and cars on finance?

Anyone that could help us out in understanding all of this will be greatly appreciated. Ian
