If I were getting my £65 JSA/week I'd only be spending what was "mine to spend", so that means after basic bills. It's summer too ... less money needed for heating.

What did you do with last fortnight's money?

its not that easy when your only on 60 pound a week

Nobody said it was easy, but if you're used to having that much (as opposed to overnight going from £25k/year down to £65) then it's doable. And I gather the OP's a regular on the rock-n-roll so should be in the habit of putting the coins in the tins each dole day.

Yeah, and as you have no food in, you might as well sell the fridge, and the cooker, and you can't afford to drink so you won't need both kidneys.
