We are totally skint this month, DH doens't get paid until the 31st, we have approxiamtely £12.34 to buy food until then I called my brother to see if he would lend me £50 until friday and he said no, I should sort myself out. I've never asked him before, and he has lent my brother, who doesn't work, and spends any spare cash on beer, money loads of times. I told him we had had to buy new tyres, pay some money off to a builder (we owe him £800+, but becasue the fucking bank and Prudential have been pissing us about since July we don't have the £11,000 we are supposed to have)pay almost £200 to the school for various things, and get road tax, plus DH has filled the car up 4 times this month because he is a rugby referee and drives around a lot to matches, and has to drive tow rk.
I spent most of Wednesday on teh phone (0870 numbers so costing a bloody fortune) to lloyds and Prudential to try and get it sorted out about our endowment, and ended up in tears on the phone to some woman in a call centre in India who kept telling me she didn't understand what I meant!
