I'm going to ask the obvious question. Why did you go there in the first place?

@ryanm8655 thanks mate. I’ve not spoken to them since as it happened. Wife sees them at school. Not really stopped feeling bad about it tbh don’t even like picking son up from school their kids come round the house if I’m here I don’t leave my office it’s a nightmare tbf. !!!!!! paranoid son will get older and they’ll tell their kids and will get back to my son. 

Have no mates left apart from the one with the MG who don’t do it so can 100 relate on the not seeing people who don’t do it. 

Don’t have any more. Don’t know why I didn’t throw it down the sink tbh mate should have done but didn’t. Tell myself no one got a clue or it’s just paranoia but they probably do know.

Need something to get through 2 years min having no money what though idk.

You aren't getting through 2 years of having no money, no money would mean not being able to pay your bills or buy food, you aren't going to be visiting a food bank or choosing whether to put your heating on or have food to eat. You are simply living to a budget which if done correctly will still allow you to live within reason. Maybe you should try a new tactic and whenever you get the urge to spend on drugs use the same amount of money to make a payment off the debt, or if you are buying the drugs with debt add it up to see how much time it will add to the time when you are going to be debt free

That could be your challenge for next week.

No lunch break spends. Either make a packed lunch to take with you or plan to have lunch at home.

May I suggest  you have a bag in the glove box with wet wipes, a clothes brush, a cloth for your shoes, a small spoon and a fork. Then you should be prepared for all occasions. If you wonder the spoon is to stir your coffee.

@Onebrokelady certainly feels like hard times tbt but yeah I’m not as hard up as what you’re describing. Not a bad idea re the other stuff though, thanks. 

@RelievedSheff Weekday lunches are expensed. Though suppose it would stop me looking like someone who lives in certain parts of Sherwood and hangs around in car parks waiting to mug whoever that lucky rich !!!!!! is with the Range Rover. 😜

@ladyholly haha my car is full of all sorts of stuff. Prepared like some kind of boy scout 100%. However back in the good old days there used to be a little quaint, civilised custom of eating your lunch at a thing called a table with cutlery when one decided to have a lunchtime outing to a cafe. I live in hope those good times return.
