Clothes.

Some Paul Smith shirts and jeans that I've hardly ever worn.

Started then off at 99p a piece, and I'm already up to £45 for the lot!

Am really trying not to get down about my financial mess.

Have £21 to my name. Not been out to my corner shop (Spar) as it's a rip off!

Not eaten all day. Was tempted to order a pizza from Domino's just now, but that'd be my money gone until my PayPal money comes through - probably Thursday at the earliest.

So, I've been filling myself up with toast and saving my money. Flipping hungry though.

Talk about desperate

Watching Blood Diamond though, and it certainly puts things in perspective.

Am just worried the circumstances of the fraudulent £200 / 250 loan will come out when I'm interviewed by the Official Receiver / Judge, who may not even *let* me go BR.

I'd think the worst that'd happen would be a bankruptcy order (BRO), extending the restrictions (on getting credit, directing a company etc) for longer than the usual year.

I got my BR fees via a Benevolent Fund. CCCS had to support my BR for the Ben. Fund to pay my fees. ( Initially I did the CCCS online debt resolution )

You could try your local Citizens Advice / welfare organisations for any trust funds you could possibly try.

Association of Charitable Trusts / National Debtline / Debt Wizard (Mike Thomas) are other leads.

Energy companies / water companies / previous employers.

well done! chin up and keep going! and you should also visit the old style board as they are fabulous for making your £1 stretch into about six meals lol! you can eat really well on a budget so check that board out too.

am not kidding, you can post up the contents of your cupboards and they will suggest how you can make meals
