    If your husband comes out in 18 months (or even 3 years), try to get help so he doesn't have a reason to get sent back.
    Don't buy clothes on the internet but in physical shops.  If you need new clothes right now, try one of the supermarkets (Tu at Sainsbury's, George at Asda, F&F at Tesco spring to mind).  Use the real cash you hope to collect from the woman to whom you are continually lending.

    what about the  TSB account you want your 'dear friend' to transfer money into?
    Or the HSBC account added on your credit score?
    Or the Nationwide   flex-basic account?
