The worst/naughtiest thing you've done to survive whilst at rock bottom

catchooky

when i lived abroad with my ex i was on really pants wages and he wasnt bringing anything in, our work provided drinks etc for the clients......
He used to take them home so we had juice etc to drink till payday cos we couldnt afford to buy drinking water.....

They spent all evening every evening failing to get served so when I turned up they thought it was xmas come early

I suppose on another plus side, I never had any more stones thrown at my windows after that :rotfl:

No judgments please. Confessionals only

I have also thought of the loo roll thing as a way for saving money but never felt the need to actually go through with it tho! I did take a soap from work tho!

We now get food provided at work and my plan is to stuff myself silly at dinner then eat cereal for my tea to save some money! But I don't think I could for shame take some of the food home without asking. But saying that I have never been that desperate, so dunno what I would pilfer if I was!

This is funny!

The worst thing I've done/the lowest I've had to stoop is when I was living on my own with my 5yr old son and I had absolutely nothing for him to eat. I was at work and I knew he was going to come home from school to no dinner(that morning he had one dry slice of toast that I picked mould off) so I waited outside until everyone had left and the store was closed and raided the bin for sandwiches. They had been thrown out after the day's trading so they would of been perfect for dinner, they were in a bag that was thrown into a cardboard bin so not too many germs:o

I managed to get a pot of pasta too so heated it up in the microwave for a few seconds! My boy was chuffed he wasnt going to bed cold and hungry!

nat21luv - I feel so humbled and lucky reading your confession. After the past week's goings on, it further highlights how screwed up the systems are in this country, that we can live in the 21st century yet decent families are still in a position where they (not just the kids) go hungry.

You might have a thought for whoever goes in the cubicle after you.
