My sons 3rd birthday

Hiya
i dont know what to do, it’s my sons 3rd birthday tommorrow I can’t afford anything for it he’s only asked for a Spider-Man birthday cake but I have 42p in my account not even enough to buy the ingredients let alone buy one.

bit of back story his dad left me 2 weeks ago out of the blue. I had to give up my job as I then didn’t have childcare to continue as I have no family around me. I’m paying a bailiff of weekly every Friday and I can’t afford to pay them either tommorrow as I was already living pay check to pay check

I just don’t know anymore I feel like such a failure

Hiya this is great advice I’m going to go down this route, although my dad has just rang me and paid marstons of completely but I’m still going to contact them regarding other debt but I should be a lot better off now as I was paying £80 a week
