And I’m skint Sad

I feel absolutely dreadful, he’s 13 and we was meant to go out for dinner.
All was okay but his glasses broke and I had to get him a new pair costing me £60 on Wednesday. It is an NHS prescription glasses but due to how bad his sight is the lenses would be massively thick and heavy, so the cost is to have them thinned.
He’s got his presents and I have the day off but I’m totally skint, not a penny to my name till Monday.
My partner has just returned to work, so it’s a bit rough till we’re back on our feet and he gets his first wage.
We’re comfortable with food etc till next week, I just feel so so so guilty I can’t do anything for his birthday especially as its his 13th

He's 13 he'll understand if you need to have his birthday meal in a few weeks. Can you make him a cake and cook his favourite food for tonight?
