Just had my card declined in the supermarket and had to ask someone to come to the self checkout so I could remove an item, never been more embarrassed and skint in my life. I had my child with me too which just made me feel even more useless. He's probably going to remember that as a long lasting memory of how poor we are or something.
so I had no money until tomorrow, apart from some change I found around the house and £1.60 in my bank, found a £5 note in the house so went to the shop to get a few bits to last until tomorrow, somehow lost the note whilst in the shop (need to remember to not put the plastic notes in my pocket they just fling out) all the change and the little bit in my card meant we were about 7p off. The idea of not having a spare 7 bloody p is so tragic I need to budget better because being down to absolute zero isn't a good plan.
please tell me this has happened to other people I feel like never showing my face in that shop again (but no choice it's the only one I can get too!)
added to the joy of the bailiff letter I received this week asking me to pay money I don't and only accepting insane monthly payments (£600!) and I've just about had enough of being a useless adult.
