Got anything to do a boot fair with? might make you a bit of cash to tide you over. And don't give up hope, you just gotta keep trying for anything and everything, and something will come along.
Hope things get better for you soon

Problem with the boot fair is OP may have to pay to set up on the site as a seller? There are some free ones around depending on where OP lives??0 -
Methinks it's time to ferret round the back of the sofa- if there's a few pence it's enough for a pack of value noodles. Are there any friends & family who'll pop the kettle on/make you a sarnie if you pop round? Anything you can take into a second hand place?

i know the feeling, im in the same boat, got no money in my account and ive got debt to pay off, need to make some money fast!0

Do you have any food in the house? i'd email any local places like macdonalds or burger king with a letter of compliment in the hope they send you some free vouchers. Your £1.10 could get you enough food for a few days just choose wisely. Have you any friends or family you could go to visit for some meals? Stay strong you'll manage, payday will be here before you know it. Good luck.0

Could you deliver free newspapers? My local one is asking for people aged over 13 to deliver. I'd do it myself but I can't fit it in with my other work at the moment. It only pays a pittance but it'll give you food money until something else comes up.0

Have you got any loose coins lying around? I took a jar of coins to Sainsbury's yesterday and used that machine to convert it into a cash voucher which I exchanged for £7.44.0
-
done the loose coins stuff - now ferretting around for stuff to sell on ebay , does anyone get the same feeling that i do as in no money = no friends?0
-
If you do find some loose coins I'd say DON'T put it in the Coinstar machines - they take at least 7% profit just for counting, and for you every penny counts!
It's only a game
