So I've not got much family but I've today had to ask them to lend me a bit of money till the end if the month and not one of them will. Most of them are minted as well. Pffft.

I've got a lump sum in the form of Cost of Living payment coming before the end of the month butam absolutely skint till then. Anyone know anything I can claim in the meantime?

Kate have you thought about getting a part time job, you can work a certain amount of hours and still keep your benefits?

No I can't Cherie. I'm on longterm sickness benefits.

[parmnion]

Maybe they are tired of giving?

Sorry to hear that Kate

The thing is once you start borrowing money you start each month from the position of having to pay back loans, so you will never get straight, you will have to bite the bullet until the COL payment comes through, I know its hard but times are hard for everyone

I've never asked them, you're assuming there.

Go to France, come back on a dinghy and you will be housed, fed and paid.

You never know, Gary Lineker may put you up in his mansion.

Your family aren’t required to bail you out just because they are ‘loaded’

You’re not entitled to their money because they’re family.

It does seem odd you would ask people you have never met on a BB forum for money before your own family members?

[Glenn.]

She needs to spend less time at the bingo gambling her money away and maybe have a look at how she can best budget her money; not privately messaging people all over the internet for cash.

This escalated quickly

Probably time for a mod to intervene.

I'm estranged from my family not that it's any of Glenn's business. Nothing I do has he the right to comment on and slag me off. Has he never struggled? Don't judge till you've stood in a person's shoes.

[Glenn.]

Yes I’ve struggled. I just have more dignity than to beg teenagers for money

[Glenn.]

And if you’re estranged from you family why on earth would they give you money? And why would you post it online? Why would you trash a family you have no contact with because they won’t give an estranged member of the family money?

Your entitlement is alarming

I've begged nobody. Get your facts straight. I've asked and instantly repaid. **** off Glenn.

Then you not really struggled then have you?

[Glenn.]

Spend less time at bingo and balance your budget better.

Misrepresenting me, are you deaf? I told you I've begged nobody. Have I asked you? No. So get your fat beak out of my business. Also the fact that these friends have discussed it with you when I asked in confidence says it all about them.
