Anyone else not able to afford Christmas this year?

Money is very tight at the moment. My salary is just covering the essentials, I have no savings. Anything extra for Christmas would have to go on a credit card. Trying to prepare my DD11 and DS10 for disappointment this year. I was hoping to buy my DD a reconditioned iPad for £150 after her brother accidentally smashed it by dropping it down the stairs, but I can't afford it.

Hello everyone
We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.

Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.
