OP you had some really good advice on that thread and I'm sorry you're still having a bad time. There were links on there which I shan't repost but still would be very helpful if you were to contact them.

I have some toddler bedding if you need some. I have little girls if you need girls clothes I probably have size 1 1/2 - 2. Happy to post if you want it.

Is that you on the previous thread?

Hey @Jameelah
Well done for getting yourself and your children out of that situation.

I'm sorry people reacted like that to your post. There have been some great suggestions so far. Check your local council website, they may have grants for furniture or white goods. It could help to go towards the cost of getting you all set up. Also look at places like the British Heart Foundation.

I wish you all the best of luck in your new life and home. ❤

Odd, given the same name, location, writing style, ages of the five children etc which seem to match up.

There is often a lot of household items and furniture/bedding, toys, electrical etc on Freecycle/Freegle. I think most area have these sites, everything free and I've never seen anything nasty on the sites near me - only ever on FB! Hope you get the things you need.

Did your request mention having 5 kids?
if so, I bet that’s what brought out the nasty people. Good luck!

Indeed..

I think you have to be wary of openly posting on social media forums. Lots of people are under financial pressures at the moment and lots of people post things which aren't genuine and they are looking to make money off what is donated.

Do you work?? Some good employers have hardship funds / contact details for charities that can help etc

She says it's not her on the thread from some time ago. What more can she say if that's the case?

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 06/08/2022 11:27

Hi all - thanks for the reports. We've got a couple of concerns about the OP and have suspended their account. We'll close the thread to new posts rather than delete as some posters may find the information useful.

Indeed..

Well just report rather than accuse her of lying then.
