In school, it wasnt for being poor or anything, but I did do a school sponsered walk and collected about £60.00 and kept it, thats the worst I have done nothing else since.0

I stole Turnips from a farmer's trailer that were going to feed cows it was 2 days to giro day.
Not when skint but in the army on an escape and evasion exercise I climbed into a scrap yard and stole fury seat covers to make jumpers out of but it was March in the Saarland and we were in PT vest, cotton combat jacket, lightweight trousers and boots in sub zero temperatures for days.The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.

When I was a student and really skint, I raided my coin collection, collected up all the foreign coins that were the same size and weight of a British 10p coin (the old, bigger ones!) and fed them all into the vending machine at the train station in return for several bars of chocolate!
I have also walked for miles and miles to save public transport or taxi fares- including around 8 miles across London to my hotel on a recent trip down because I was too tight to pay for the Tube!0 -

, the second worst thing I've done:
When I was really at rock bottom, it was late on a Saturday evening and I literally didn't have anything edible in the house, absolutely nothing. I was supposed to have received some money the day before that never arrived and I knew I'd have to wait until Monday to get it sorted.
I was hungry and desperate and it was awful.
Despite not having any food left I did however have 2 cheap bottles of wine. I went to the local shop and sold them to the kids that hang around outside for a few quid a bottle
I know that's awful but I was desperate. I used the money to get food to last until Monday.
When I came out the shop the kids were sitting on the wall swigging cheap Californian red. Well I suppose it's healthier than alcopops
(I want to point out that whilst the kids weren't legal they were all over 16 and smoking anyway. I wasn't peddling booze to 9 year olds)
