Glad you are feeling a bit better

Until about 6 months ago, I was always asking for subs from my mum to help me get through to payday.. I seem to have got it sorted (for now) lol.
I'm 27 too, let's hope it gets easier after 30! lol
I'm 30 next November and I hope to have paid my mum back and not ask her for help again lol0 -

Hope you are still thinking positive OP.. even I'm considering the house sitting thing, just no idea where I'd start lol..9/70lbs to lose

You, me, myothercarsafarrari and most of the know universe. Personally I think it'd be a bit perverse not to borrow a roll from the office lavvy in such a cr*p situation (pardon the pun)! Hey as long as you put one back, that's what matters most.
I reckon if you did a survey you'd find 95% of people who have been in that situation "borrowed" a roll somehow or other. For the sake of your professionalism obviously you don't want the boss to know how strapped for cash you truly are, therefore asking for permission to borrow it is not a good idea career-wise. If work is the only likely donor.. God yeah I would (and have).
Take heart, lower ebbs have been sunk to my many of us in the past. The only way is up and all that.I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

Only works if you have toiletries to shower with- this is another entry on the shopping list for payday tho eh.I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.

Is your phone PAYG? Cos if it is do you know phone networks will sometimes PAY YOU to get another sim?
What you need to do is go to a cashback site like quidco or topcashback (there is an article by Martin about them somewhere) and once you're registered click through from yer cashback site to the appropriate offers. It'll tell you if anyones offering rewards for ordering sims. I've got about a dozen here I wont ever use but hey- I really am THAT broke!
If I am you are- get registered chick. :cool:I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
