Maybe more wwyd?
Or an ask for advice?
I don't know, it's all a mess...
I have been struggling with money since my ex left.
It's just me, ds (12), dd (2) and the cat.
The cat doesn't need much, he lives outside.
Dd can't eat wheat, so her food can be expensive. I try to cook most things from ingredients, but there are some nights when we have to rush, so it will be fish fingers.
But I am behind on some bills. My water bill is £90 a month. This is ridiculous! I don't have an evian factory or anything! Apparently it's because I have a Cheshire postcode
No idea about gaz and leccy... Still waiting for landlord to fix garage door to access the meter.
I have been paying something for water every month. Not as much as they want, but something. I have been asking for a way to pay gas/leccy too, but they haven't sent a plastic card like the water did.
Anyway, got a nasty letter from the water, demanding £800 in the next few days. I have £22 to last until Friday. No petrol in the car (hope ds doesn't have an emergency at school...)
Who can I ask for help? Not mumsnet... CAB? Could they do anything? A charity?
I am already in the bottom of my overdraft (expensive tooth repair, not Xmas excess)
My parents don't have that much money laying around.
I just don't want to be here, with dcs, if/when bad people come banging on my door.
