im so broke..i ran out of food today.

[penniless]

and i cant afford to buy anymore
im a regular but ive changed my name because im a proud person.
my dh walked out on me a year agoalthough he hangs around a lot still..he pays maintenance which takes me over the is threshold. so i only get tax creditsbut when we were together i took out a loan..a few years ago when i was earning and now im left with the payments to manage..ive just registered as self employed but im not getting any worki spent a lot of money getting my business up and running now im not getting any return im 500 pounds overdrawn at the banki cant stay afloat anymoreive no money for christmas prersents, no money for anything, the fridge is empty, i cant put petrol in the car,o told my mum today because id got so desperate but she wasnt interested, im so unhappy, how the hell did i end up like this, i dont want sympathy, just wanted to posdt it and get it off my chest

not a single person here is going to judge...we've all been there.....

Alternatively, you could tell me your details in confidence and I would sort out the delivery for you.

I'm sure we can sort something out pretty quickly.

if all the people who've responded plonk a couple of quid into a bank account you'll have a wee bit to get by on for a while. who's got a paypall account we could use?

I've got one, but I wonder if penniless would rather go via Soapy?

I don't know if she's got one.

i have paypal, not sure how you'd use it but i'd be happy to help.

has yorkie girl been in touch with you? you said you're on her msn. i'm near leeds and would do anything i can to help..

Yes, do tell someone penniless, only one person needs to know who you are and then the rest of us can chip in

you can bet there are loads of lurkers on here who would like to help if they could, just email one of the people on here and they can keep your ID secret

Think of it this way Penniless - would you judge? would you help out another mn'r if you could? You know the answers, we just want to help not to judge. I've come very close to this myself.

I'm happy to do a tesco.com order for you penniless if it would help. mnmilge at yahoo dot co dot uk.

penniless, come on, sweetheart...
if you are the sort of person who would formerly have chipped in to help someone whose children didn't have any food, then in fairness you should now be able to accept some help in the certain knowledge that no-one would ever think less of you. i think we can sort something out really quickly here if you let us.

I don't want to ever, ever, ever be in a position where my family is actually hungry with no option. Please let us help you. Let us help your kids.

One day you can pay it forward.

penniless, you can use someone who doesnt know your real name then nobody will be none the wiser. the shopping will be done online and delivered to your door. please dont be ashamed. you and your kids cannot go without food please e'mail someone hun x

phew

in all seriousness penniless i was in your position a few months back. every other week i was so skint i had to stay mt my mums or we would starve. i never told anyone i just pretended to be going past at just about meal time. this lasted about 6 weeks until my mum said " if your skint you should just say you know."

i was embarassed but it was the best thing i could have done. she took me straight own to the CAb and they gave me a list of other benefits i could claim and i am now - a bit wobbly but just about- on my feet again.

i have a paytpal account and if someone would like to tell me how to use it i would gladly offer its use, we culd then get a sainsburys home delivery or something.....you could maybe do your shopping list and save it so that we just needed to confirm payment? that way we wouldn't need to know your regular name either.

i dont do internet shopping so someone else may have to do that bit lol

but really, im here all the bloody time and am more than happy to help in anyway i can.

thank god! can sleep easy now. well done ladies
