A loan isn't the answer, how will you pay it back. What do you have in your cupboards? We can help you meal plan.

What area of birmingham are you?

You really don't need a loan from one of the payday lenders, the interest is extortionate. Contact social services today and tell them your situation. At the very least they will help with a food parcel.

I'm near Brum, whereabouts are you? I have clothes that my DC have grown out of.

You need to go to the CAB, they will be able to help you. Don't turn to doorstep lenders or cash til pay day places, you don't know whether your benefits will be restarted so you'll pay heavily for this. The CAB will give you the help that you need.

IF you have any gold or silver jewellery or small electrical goods like Ipods/cameras/mobile phones that you no longer use then find your nearest Cash Converters, who do both pawnbroking and buying: the useful thing that they offer is a buyback service so you can 'sell' your phone or camera for a few quid and they will store it for a month before selling it on, you can then buy it back. There is an interest charge but it's much, much less than payday loan companies charge you.

Have you contacted social services and explained you cannot feed your dcs?

Yeah sure just give me your account details, how much do you want?

Hmm, the use of the word "mom" says it all...

I'll give you a million dollars :)

Sadly they're Zimbabwe $ so worth about 34p.

Agree with everyone else. Tell us when you next get money and what you have in the way of food and we can help verbally. Nobody is just gonna give you money - you should be getting at least 140 a week through CB and CTC. do you rent through council or privately?

Either way benefits will be covering your rent and council tax.

Mom is commonly used in parts of the Midlands.

What do you mean amothersplace?

we say 'mom' here in birmingham.

Is it? Not in any part of the Midlands I was raised in. Would it be a West thing then?

I may have alluded to something similar up the thread RedandBlue but you can't read my wonderful post as it has been deleted.

Damn shame.

Well, if you have no other help, have you good in the house we can help with meal planning?

I'm sure someone could drop round some pasta, loaf of bread, some of the basics.

food.

not good.

I have a mom and I'm in North Birmingham. Which part of Brum you in OP?

OP my Auntie Betty lives in Brum, if you are near to her I can get her to drop in some eggs, bread & milk etc

She won't be able to give you any cash though - sorry.
