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

Hello everyone
We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.
Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.
So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.
Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.
