Split from DH 18 months ago.
So fed up - I'm working in a normal full time office job and some evening work in an off-licence and still struggling to make end meet at all.

Living in a dingy flat which is costing a lot.

Never have money to go out and wouldn't anyway as all my clothes are old and make me feel like a tramp.

Have'nt had my hair cut for nearly a year and am embarrassed that I only have one suit (jacket and skirt) which I have to wear to work all the time.
I have one pair of v old trainers and my work shoes which are too small and make my toes bleed

Yep. I've been selling stuff from my house for the last couple of years. But stuff from the house is running out and no idea what I will do then! Haven't been out for years.

Hi, I think we may have spoken on another forum? very similar post to one I read around 6 months ago, exactly the same details, if it is you then I am sorry things haven't changed but we did talk about a house share. If it is not you then sorry, I am enjoying my first Gin of the evening! Yes a house share could be for the best, how old are you? Do you have a wedding /engagement ring you could sell to raise a few pounds to get some clothes and a haircut to give yourself a boost?
