Well i am not sure and its very trivial and probably shows how money conscious, and insecure i am BUT

[MyLittleMiracle]

I saw a nice top whilst out today, and i do like it alot, but i would also want a white pair of jeans to go with them. I like the top a lot, but i am not sure about paying £35 for it. I am trying to save for rent in advance and a deposit, but it looks like the council will have to house me. I am going for a family meal on sunday as well and have nothing to wear.

Is £35 a stupid amount to spend on a top? And should i just get a different colour to avoid buying a new pair of jeans?

Think i really need someone to say, no buy it for yourself...but doubt you will. Talk me into/ out of it please. So undecided!

I Wasn't criticising you by the way, just letting you know what worked for me. Pnd is a horrible thing to experince dd is 2 and a bit now the others 14, 10 and 5 and still on my own but for me work is my route to saving my sanity, I know it's not for everyone though.

I know you werent KWL51 Merely pointing out sometimes it can help! At the minute i need to sort me first, and then get onto a course, in accountancy and go from there! Its not i plan to sit and do nothing for the rest of my life its just i am a bit in a catchment at the moment.

If the council might help you don't go private, you could end up exactly where you are now.

Sit it out and exhaust every avenue before surrendering.

Housing action and local mp if the council mess around.

So, Mylittlemiracle, what happened today? Any news?

I can't believe that the original post is for real and even more the follow up posts. If so, I am stunned. Absolutely stunned. I think the OP needs to grow up a lot. You are a mother, you need to get your priorities right. They are all over the place and in a right mess.

As a bonus though I think you've got the record 'message deleted by mumsnet' score so far in the history of mumsnet. Well done.

In case anyone was wondering....and some i know are! Today went fantastically!!! Can move in in about a month! AND they are leaving all but everything for me....i even have a dishwasher, just got to buy chest of drawers for little one a mattress for me and a freezer! Not a small amount of money i know...but sooooo much sorted!

THANK YOU WHOEVER SUGGESTED GUMTREE!

Well done! Glad its sorted for you and i hope everything goes well.

I understand what you mean, when you say 'in bit of a catchment' i've just had a baby and I'm trying to work and i do think I've taken on too much and would love to spread it out, i hope you get on your course and do well.

Thank you. A lot on here, seem against me getting my own place and buying nice things! So much to do now before i move in!

MyLittleMiracle - bless you, Im really pleased about your place, i hope it works out for you I really do. There is no shame in getting a bit of help from the state you know, i was in that position once (young single mum, housing benefit etc) (so please forgive my unkind post yesterday, im still embarrased about that :() and anyway, it helped me get on my feet, and things have worked out ok for me. I went back to college like you plan to do - you absolutely must do that, for your own sanity, it will be so worth it i promise you. Of course you want nice things, its only natural, we all do. I hope your new place is nice, but make sure you keep yourself on the council list too. Well done xx

i agree with desperate, do it for your own sanity, I've had a baby, but i want my own life swell as being a good mum, and i think/do have both.

I buy myself lovely things, and my daughter always has what she needs + more, she's only 5mo, but i work bloody hard and deserve it!

Thank you, i am getting sorted. The place is gorgeous! I feel like the angels are smiling on me and i am on top of the world and want to share the feeling with everyone!

desperate dont worry, we all say/ do things we later regret. Forget about it....I have, there are alot worse comments on here than yours! for which there has been no apology!
