How could I be so stupid???

[zephyrcat]

I've done a really stupid thing! dp is away for a week so monday i did all the shopping etc, i've paid all the bills, paid the school, yesterday i was down to my last £5 til i get more money on friday and as the electric was running low i put the £5 on the electric key. Last night I realised I have forgotten ds's SMA milk!!!!! He's got about 2 bottles worth left! Mums at work all day so cant get to my bank dp is in a training centre in the middle of nowhere and the only neighbours we really know are away - Any suggestions??!!!

I think the £10 cash deposit wont work in time will it? Know it's cash but they still work on close of business rubbish even in this day and age with computers! I think HV best idea. Don't you like your HV? Why not try them? Otherwise in your situation I think know it might sound a bit crazy but I think I would explain my dilemma to the samaritans they would know who could help surely! Probably benefit office or whatever they are called. Sorry I'm nowhere near Andover and don't know anyone in that area to help out. Whatever you decide I hope it gets sorted out soon.

PS it's not stupidity it's easily done!

thats a good point color - plus i forgot my abbey card is split and the new one is in the post lol - Ever had the feeling its going to be one of those days???? I actually love my hv and would phone her in a second but the phone is on incoming calls only!!! (there needs to be a screaming icon!!)

Have you a mobile? You have probably answered that already. You must have 10p for a phone box!

no phonebox here!! now do you see why i was panicking lol I have searched the house and found £2.60 so i can get some cartons and will just have to bulk him up on juice and jars for the next couple of days!! Thanks again to youall

got any more baby stuff to sell me? i'll send cash today.

only boys stuff really - thnks though did the other stuff arrive today?

(unless you need a steriliser, moses basket or carrier lol)

arrived yesterday. very lovely. what about socks? lol.

what about if someone sends you a postal order to cash?

i can do you a loan for some milk if you want.

lol i dont think i've got any socks. ds grew out of it all so quickly i thew most of it away! I'm not doing very well today am i lol

how much is a small tin these days?

our shop down the road charges £7!!!!

do u want a poastal order sent? just send me a postal order back when u have it.

Can you CAT someone on MN that you know your details and the HV's phone number? They can ring on your behalf?

are you sure misdee? I can send it straight back to you on friday - all the other options seem to be coming with some problem or another? Thats really kind of you Although dont go out of your way if you have to go far, he will survive on jars and a couple of cartons!

let me soon as will pop down the rd in a bit, the kids need a walk anyway, and post office will be closed this afternoon.

thats an idea - i could cat you the hv number misdee?

just resend me your addy, so i can get a envolope sorted, then will walk down in 30mins or so. u should get it tomorrow.

zeph I am a bit concerned that you are alone in the house for a week with a 5 month old baby with no friends or family nearby, no transport, no money and no phone you can dial out on! When dp gets back maybe it would be a good idea for the two of you to work out a plan so that you are not ever put in this position again! This time is a mini-crisis, but what if there was a real emergency?

ok misdee - sending it now thanks

do u want a phone card sent as well?

btw have been in dire money situations myself so know what its like.

CAT me your address and the brand of milk your DS has and I'll put a tin in the post to you at lunchtime today - you will get it tomorrow

I did think about that this morning anorak. If i was in a real emergency i wouldnt hesitate to bang on anyones door - but i feel a bit of an idiot asking people for help because i was too stupid to remember my own baby's milk!!! I thought i was doing so well!!
