goodnight Weez. I have spoken to journo friend. She says if you were in their geographical area they would definitely be interested. She liked the sound of crazy lady feeds the world for pennies! So your regional paper (rather than local little free thing) if probably the way to go. Do you have something like the Cambrian News where you are.

There is no way I could read all/any of that in that font

good morning all, not sure if anyone has seen this:

Thanks for the advice everyone - and no, I dont think anyone has been unneccesarily harsh.

As stated previously I have no contact number as he just uised to text me when he wanted me to pay some of the arrears. Stupidly, I would forget his text was there and delete my entire inbox - hence, I would lose his number. And his house got flooded in January and he moved house, not giving me his new address. I have been paying him £50 when I can and intended to give a lot more, but couldnt.

As to what I spend: no luxury washing powder here, its always whatever is cheapest - I tried the basics ranges and they left my 2 and 3 year old with a rash, so I tend to go for Daz which is £2. This time though I did buy one of those huge boxes for £6 which I hated doing, but its lasted me a month and a half.

I dont NEED a tv but I have one, so while I do (cant sell it) I HAVE to pay the tv license.

No sky or other cable tv, my mobile is PAYG and I never top up unless I need to phone up about a job, my internet is mobile broadband pay as you go.

I CANNOT feed 3 of us for £10 a week, if someone thinks they can then feel free to put a list on here!

I buy basics nappies for £1.54 for 20, wipes are 50p basics ones,my cleaning cloths are 12p (basics), I buy mince for 97p per pack, sausages - ok theyre £4 but for 36, basically what Im saying is I buy NO brand names, everything is sainsburys basics and my shopping bill last Monday still came to £42.
Some people may not believe that but its true.

My little boy needs shoes as his are too tight, but I am trying to make them last - I havent even got him into a nursery yet as it would cost me £18 a week minimum - £30 is the first payment and I cant afford that yet, so Im going to have to wait til he turns 3 just to get him a free place.

They have 4 toys - a little musical chair thing, a toy jcb (small), a Roary diecast car and a peppa pig ball.
Oh, and a set of finger paints!

THATS why I wanted them to have a decent birthday, they deserve it but of course a roof over their heads is more important; if I could defer their birthdays til after I have the rent arrears paid then I will. But I just have no money to pay the LL!

He has threatened me with eviction before; got a text 2 months ago saying if I didnt pay the full rent arears by 3 wks time I would be out, I phoned him the next day and he said he had only said that as he was having a tough time with his girlfriend.

In this thread

as she is an adult and the kids are still in nappies, she would afford a shirl version for £10 a week.
