Broke for a month

[Temporarilyskint]

i know the way these threads can go - I am not asking for money and while I think it is incredibly sweet when people offer I won't accept

Sorry for above disclaimer.

Have namechanged as I'm a bit embarrassed and my ex stalks me on here.

We've no money. Well, £40. That's to get through to the end of the month.

We have no oven, or microwave. We do have a toaster.

No access to credit.

Fuel costs are high due to having to take my son to school. Not sure if there's a way around this. (He will hopefully be starting at a new school which is local in 2016 but for now it's tough.)

Fussy cats need food.

Argh. I am partly posting for advice, and also partly for emotional sounding off as I'm fed up of thinking about money.

Leaving tax credits are NOT affected by savings . Only the interest above £300 on savings is counted.

Jeez, some people here are too thick to see past their envy. so what if the OP has 20 houses, they do not mean she has money HERE AND NOW.

She does however have problems HERE AND NOW, like many others on MN and like all those others she is posting here. She said it is temporary and she said she didn't want anybody offering half of nothing etc.

I don't own a house, I don't pay a mortgage or have any equity in anything. But FFS, have a bit of heart!

It's not envy KatharineClinton - I'm not a liar, and if I wasn't compassionate, I wouldn't have tried to help either, would I?

Nor have I lied.

Just a reminder that much as Mumsnet's raison d'être is to make lives easier,
we do advise all our members to be aware that not everyone on t'internet is who they say they are, and that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

PEACE AND LOVE

How can they diagnose the fault without coming out to look at it? It sounds dangerous and I would want it sorted asap? Can you borrow the money or ask the bank for an overdraft?

I'm just repeating what they said over the phone and in fairness it's worked.

Thanks Olivia - I've requested the thread be locked or deleted if possible.

You lied by omission, as well you know. And now it appears that you are a PBP too. It doesn't matter that you said from the beginning that you weren't begging. It doesn't matter that you haven't taken anything from anyone.

What matters is that you presented your situation dishonestly and have been uncovered - and now, you're shouting at people in a horrible aggressive manner, and telling people that offered help to fuck off. The absolute fucking cheek of you.

Maryz, I plan to, mostly, but I do feel embarrassed, rightly or wrongly, when its financial fuck ups and believe me I am WELL aware I am rubbished with money.

Think about it - you all recognise me; so do people from real life - none that I know of bar one and I trust her implicitly - but it's embarrassing. And plus I really don't want X giving me grief.

You mention an inheritance especially the one I have and people know you, recognise you - my circumstances are unusual and I tried to be a bit vague because I didn't want 'outing.'

I respect you don't name change but you do understand why people do?

So, all bollocks.

Yes, I've been banned, because mumsnet thought I was lying.

I have explained to mumsnet in an email - they are fine with me being back (I assume.)

The only reason I wanted this thread deleted is I hate arguing. It's actually really upset me today - pathetic I know but it has - but that argument has been because of you purple and you do this a lot. You know you do, and you know you tried to befriend me under a name change when you'd previously been vile about me, you know you did. I've never done that. So don't act like you're so superior.

Thanks usual

Thank you so much

All bollocks op. You should be ashamed of drawing posters in.

I have not 'drawn anyone in' - maybe you should be ashamed of not bothering to read my posts?

I don't think it should be deleted either. At least if it stays we have the full story next time. Well, ish.

Well don't delete it then. I only asked because I am sick sick sick of arguing when i needed a bit of help, got a bit of help - but somehow it wasn't enough for the posters who wanted a Victorian tragedy complete with barefoot limping and ragged clothes.

You know, people, don't bloody well offer randoms on the internet money

Amen to that.

Tis a total scam 99% of the time.,

Erm, you were being given practical advice about how to get your electrics fixed. You were the one who started a long story about two people having a baby in 1978..
