To use a Food Bank if I also had a holiday last month?

Checked my account this week and it's not good. I've had a few job options not work out. I now have an offer for February for part time so I'm obviously very happy, however it is minimun wage and freelance so I feel cautious about taking on a payday loan just in case. Not eligible for proper loan from bank as no income right now.

I went on holiday with a new bf last month before things got so serious with my money situation. Part of me thinks I need to prioritize rent and bills I can just about pay until new job starts, if I don't really buy food for the second half of December - I have plenty of food for about a week. However, I should not have gone away so it's my own stupid fault and so really don't deserve any help from the Food Bank. I've been hanging around supermarkets late for a few days trying to get reduced items but not having much luck. Been looking online for information about getting thrown away food from restaurants at night, not found anything yet, but if anyone knows where I could get that that would be great?

I cannot ask family or friends and certainly not bf. Wwyd? No children btw it's only myself so no worry there.

Hi all. Thanks for the reports on this thread. While we have no reason to believe that the OP is anything but genuine - and in a dreadful situation right now - we do advise all our members to be aware that not everyone is who they say they are online. So do exercise caution. Please don't give more of yourselves to another poster than you can afford - whether that's financially or emotionally. And it goes without saying (but I'm going to say it anyway) that it's never a good idea to give out your location to someone online. All that considered, we really are awed by the incredible support that you lovely lot give each other on a daily basis.
