If you don't have enough food, you could go to your GP, explain what's happened and ask for a referral to a food bank.

Have you checked in all your pockets, handbags etc for any forgotten money or coins that have fallen down the sofa etc.

Do you not have any friends or family who could lend you some money until your first pay cheque goes in?

look at the "milk&more" website, think you can have food now, pay later.

any items you could take to cash converter? eg phones/ ipods/dvd players/ dvds/cds/kitchen equipment?

could you go trough everything you have in your food cupboards/fridge and freezer and post back here for help?

cancel any direct debits you don't need .

apply for single occupancy council tax asap.

could old job give you an advance?

any nectar /Tesco clubcard points to use?

surely a friend or relative could give/ lend food?

hi ive just done the postcode checker and it says they havent expanded into my area yet
ive been told to ring housing benefit on monday see if im going to be entitled to help as i will be going back to my 35 hours a week so will do that im assuming council tax will be involved with that ive removed x partner of my tenancy
just applied for an overdraft on my online banking but it says theyll write to me
ill go see whats in the cupboards the reason i have nothing is because the day he turned on me again we was actually due to go shopping he had been paid his wages but had started with the financially controlling behaviour and it escualted from there
also i was claiming child tax and cben it was going to his bank but i have changed bank details hoping that the payments go in as normal next week or will updating bank info change this

Not something I,d normally suggest but needs must. Is there any public toilet you can visit, supermarket would be ideal, and take an extra few sheets to tide you over?

Could you phone someone like the Sally Army, or a Church ?
Maybe if you're the victim of a bad relationship try comtacting Womens Aid.
