the footing is not to keep the block upright, it's to take the weight which the 45's won't do..
grin and bear it, get a jcb out and dig the footing properly..

and there seems to be a lack of hardcore beneath your slab.

Are you sure you mean inches and not feet?
Cheers for advice.;
Yes, sorry it was inches. It was more liike 4" though.
Nevermind now. I got cracking this afternoon, dug it out again, now its between 12-16" deep and about 12" wide.

I have another problem, I need to break up an old 100mm concrete base. Would it be easier to sledge hammer it or use a 50mm disc grinder, slice it in pieces and then sledge hammer it after that. Seems to be solid, not sure if the hammer alone would do the job?
Any help please

he is a big boy though im 1/2 the weight of him dont think i would be able to lever it up
im thinking car jack, a few bricks and a sledge called phil
i reckon a disc cutter would be able to weaken it (like a dairy milk) then just hammer it off, would it work ?
cheers
