To feel down/low/pissed off

[CheekyLittleSox]

because its the end of the month and we are skint, i have literally about £1.20 maybe less in my purse :( I feel like crawling into a hole and not coming out for a week :( Payday next thursday, but still its waiting :( And were on emergency credit on the electric which was put on yesterday - hoping to god it last until Wednesday morning (tax credits)

AIBU for feeling shit - also dont help that its ladys time :( make me feel better

Oh dear, you poor thing. It's about now you desperately need to find that tenner at the back of your purse that you didn't see earlier in the week...

Seriously, can you not borrow a few pounds off someone at least for the meter? I know everyone says don't borrow, but I probably would under these circumstances, just to tide me over til Thurs.

Hope you feel better soon.

wow....how much is your emergency credit? mines only £5 and would no way last that long

stick something on netmums local for sale section.....it might go this weekend,its what i usually do. even if its just something that you want a fiver for.

Mhm tried that Onetoomany

My mum is skint
My dads a tight area
My sister has over £500 in her account which she has saved up for her new bond for her new house which she isnt paying until the 8th of april, i asked her to lend me £20 til Wednesday and she says 'no iv got to pay my bond end of next week' so i explain that i would transfer it straight back on wednesday morning but ohhh no thats not good enough.

So if on monday or tuesday my electric goes im not going to ask for anything il just sit in the dark/cold/no food/no hot water/no light/no nothing.

i just feel like crying and i woouldnt be so bad if i wasnt on :(

My dads a tight arse not area!

i get £5 too. So im hoping it just manages and goes off wednesday morning so i can go get some more from shop when tax credits go in :(

If you pm me CheekyLittleSox I can send you a £5 - I'm on the edge myself so sorry I can't offer more but if a couple of others do the same too you'll be ok.

no its ok. im not begging. i wouldnt accept that, but thank you anyway x

im just ranting, i think where i feck myself over is getting the monthly shop in and then going to the shop everyday for other bits and using most the money at the begining of the month :( We just need to budget properly. but thank you

Been there myself many times Cheeky and I didn't think you were begging at all. It's hard at the moment for so many people and there's no shame in it.
Just pm if you change your mind. No big deal, really.

Cheers Catkin its very nice of you.

We'l survive, we have to in this day and age don't we? Everyones in the same boat.

oh its bloody crap isn,t it,we,re in same boat we struggle all the time,my dh has just got a job after a long time searching and we,re still scraping by,my dd is a year old now so am looking to do a couple of evenings if i can find it just so we get a few days out a month,we dont want much really just a nice life for dd im happy to get my clothes from charity shops my prioritys changed the day my dd came to me but todays society makes it very hard to get by everything is so expensive,we live on the emergency electric you are not being unreasonable to feel abit low and pissed of but you and i and many like us must always keep in our heads that who knows what tomorrow may bring x

CheekyLittleSox, It is crap isn't it.

I have worked really hard over the last year to get on an even keel and ahead of myself. And this month was going to be Dday.
But DS ran up £120 over his phone Bill. But I worked really hard to both pay it and make sure I didn't go overdrawn so i wouldn't get charges. I checked what was due to go out online and put in enough to cover it all. I was so happy with myself. But this morning I noticed a cheque had gone out that the online service was supposed to notify me about but didn't. It is a really old cheque that I had lost track of. So not only have I gone overdrawn but it will acrue loads of interest over the weekend so charges will be high.

I would have loved to have offered to help also otherwise. I know how hard it is.

I really hope things pan out for you over the next few days.
