Hi just wanted to wish you good luck you are not alone lots of us have been in this postion my mum was quite often thankfully we lived by the sea so I was brought up on seafood also lots of potatoes from my grandfathers veg garden. I live in the worcestershire area and would be more than happy to share some food.

Foodwise lots of churches and community groups have food boxes they give to those who need them, and I can assure you many even middle-class ppl are happily provided with boxes when in need, not just those on benefits/jobless. Swallow any pride and pop into your local church tomorrow, they'll know who can help.

It is illegal to post date a cheque, it can be banked anytime after it has been signed.

Right, thanks for that. You learn something every day.

just another voucher that might help you
http://www.sacla.co.uk/images/1-pound-off-sacla-pesto.pdf
this one is from the discount voucher page and is for £1 off sacla pasta sauces, which are apparently on offer in morrisons for 99p at the moment, so buy a cheap bag of pasta as well and another couple of dinners sorted out

as for the change, i wouldn't put it into the change machine to count just go through self service and put the coins in as normal as they have to accept it as its all money afterall isn't it

Hiya,

Just another offer of help from the Northwest if you're anywhere near me??

If not, only other thing i can add is take a quick look on the 'grabbit' part of the forum. Tescos are doing loads of discount stuff on the value range, penne pasta for 22p, tinned curry sauce for 7p, things like that and many more (just my memory is pants!) . Might not be the most appealing of dinners, but may fill a hole......

Re a grant for school uniform, this is dependent on area, in my area, there are no grants for school uniforms regardless of benefit status.
