I've decided to humour myself and start this thread laughs hysterically. Anyone care to join me with their stories. Maybe we can out skint each other...

So, you know you're truly skint when:
Shopping in charity shops are no longer ironic.
The middle of the month arrives and you panic about feeding the family.
You can not afford the petrol to work.
You're growing your own veg but cannot stretch to compost to enrich the soil.
DS and DD's shoes are too tight (something you never thought you would allow to happen)
Your bra is too tight, buying a new one is out of the question, so you just 'get used' to the pain.
Yadda harumph harumph

@MizK

Just had a read of this and feel for everyone, I sincerely hope times will get easier soon. Definitely think a permanent board on here where we can give away things to those who need them would be great.

Hello. Just reminding all you folks that every Mumsnet Local site has a Nearly New board where you can 'advertise' stuff you're happy to give away to another Mumsnetter who lives near you. Do please use it.
