bluejeans

:eek: :eek: :eek: and i need to put petrol in the car. Any idea's on fast cash ? I have put wheels in motion to earn extra cash but paid at the end of the month. So that wont help me now ! Ive never ever been cashless before, this is just the worst nightmare i am already in debt to 1 friend and 2 family members for £800. So just cant go to them again. I feel sick, finances and myself at a all time low.

I was in this situation too, I sold my wii and wii fit... anything around that you could sell even for an extra £20 or so?

24 hour listing on e-bay

Car boot sale at the weekend (or even mid week)

(open sealed tin if you can?)

Do you have to put petorl in the car - ie do you have to go to work by car? If so put as a little as possible in.

Do a store cupboard challenge for meals..

I so feel your pain, a couple months ago I was broke again just days after being paid and needed to wait a whole month for any money, it hurt....a lot. maybe a mid week boot sale?! garden sales seem to go down well on that mid morning tv show too lol and it is instant cash if you have anything laying around.

I hope you get through this ok, all the best. I'm sure some other savvy money saver will be along shortly with some fab tips

Hi bluejeans - am sure someone will have lots of ideas but all I can think of is

write an inventry of your freezer and cupboards and do a meal plan so you wont need to buy any food.

try a carboot sale asap

feel down the back of the sofa;)

walk wherever possible to save on petrol

Can you put so me things on ebay? have you got any old games,dvds etc you could trade in? For the long term have you considered contacting CAB or the cccs tro get some help with your fianaces? Good luck

I dont have to go to work in car but OH does, bus fares would be more than petrol. Thankyou for ideas so far.

Hiya,

I really know how you feel, having no money is a terrible nightmare. I would try some of the things the others have said and use up what is in the house for eating. I know it's no comfort just now, but it will get easier. I am the same at the moment, but I know that things will get better eventually.

Take care,

I do have stuff for "car boot" and i am sure family can add to it. But I dont think i Will have money for a stand, i think they are about £10. But i am thinking hard and trying to be positive. i am always the one saying to OH, worrying yourself wont make the situation any better !!!

take 1 day at a time - don't put petrol in until you really, REALLY have to.

Do a list of all the food in the house and when you've made all the meals you think you can - head over to Old Style and list what you have and the number of meals it has to cover.

Crack open the £2 tin (sorry - know you've only got £2 in it!) and again look at OS for meal ideas - there is a regular doing food for 50p a day at the moment over there!

Is there anyone who OH could get a lift to work with - even if it's just 1 or 2 of the days?

I've been in your situation, it's really horrible but just keep posting each day and we'll get you through it.
