Well that's good news- helpful friend!

I hope your financial situation improves once you have wages coming in. Do you have masses of debt hanging over you or are you starting with a clean slate?

If your credit rating is poor, presumably you have had trouble with financial things in the past. Could you maybe go the CAB and see if they can arrange for you to see a financial adviser type person who can advise you how to best manage your finances when you start your job? It sounds like a very difficult time. Honestly, use the food bank if you have to- that's what it's there for!

So sorry to hear you have had such a bad time. I just wanted to add to the advise above that if things get really bad again and you have one near you, a Sikh temple (gudwara) always offers free food to those who need it and you'd be able to have a full but simple meal there. They ask no questions though you would have to respect them and cover your head

So glad to hear your friend helped you
