Anyone skint

[TheOpalFox]

Anyone else skint? Or just me?

I thought we were ALL skint!

Yep. It's the last few days before payday Friday and my husband and I have 51 pounds between us. Luckily we bulk buy nappies, fairy liquid bog roll etc but it's a bit lame knowing we can't really spend anything. I had 100 pounds this morning and had to buy my daughter's school shoes and enough food for a family of 5 to last till Friday. Lame

Do you live under a rock?! 😀

Yep paid my bills, did a food shop & a school uniform shop now im skint. Roll on 29 days 😂

School holidays/days out/visiting adult kids has cost me a fortune. I know I didn’t have to but fed up of not doing anything with DC. 2.5 weeks to payday…..

Of course it's not just you but nor is it everyone (obviously!).

perpetually :(

It feels like most people are skint, most of the time. Whether or not that is down to high costs/poor budgeting/overspending is an entirely different matter.

I know I'm skint, but then I'm disabled and unable to work at present due to complications from lifelong health issues.

Always

Hi @TheOpalFox

This is the forum you were looking for?

Yup. Got paid last Wednesday and most of it is gone already. Whoopee.

Nope not me.

Trying to budget and went to pick up my prescription I have to pay for and the GP had ordered me 3 boxes of anti histamines EXACTLY the same as in Savers that’s sells them for £2 a box so declined to pick them up. Was so embarrassing as was huge queue as always but hey ho £3.90 saved woohoo!

Not totally, doing a little better than usual, I don't get paid again until the 26th.
I'll be broke the week before.
