Can a family member or friend not lend you some money? Or could you possibly get a food shop ordered and use Klarna to pay in 3 if they do it? Or just use a credit card if you still have one, ours lot like you’re splurging - it’s for food. £20 to last a week is a long time, I’m so sorry you’re going through this x

https://olioapp.com/en/. Have you got the olio app - you can use it to look for free food.
Can you access a food bank?

Have you tried food bank?

Why do you have debt? If you don't do IVA, how are you going to pay for them?

If you are desperate for food, maybe I can help you a bit.

Companies with good maternity leave

I am currently on maternity and have only received SMP, we were able to save to make sure bills are covered but think if we were to have another this would be really tough.

I feel if its not advertised as a benefit asking about mat pay wouldn’t be ideal in an interview.

What companies pay above smp? Personally looking for those in northwest.

Hi! I’m 29, with a year old boy. I’m a STAHM in a city where I don’t know anyone. I moved here to be with my son’s father, and it’s been wonderful but I need friends, not just my boys lol.

Do you include a wishlist on birthday invites?

I have a 5 year old who is having a birthday and she wants to invite her friends at school. So her and l set up a Amazon registry/wishlist and put a QR code on the invite for it. Today she got a invite to a party and the parents are like NO gifts please he only needs his friends. And now I'm like crap. Should l have put a wishlist. Like its there for if you want to not you have to bring something. When you send out classroom birthday party invites do you put a wishlist?

I’ve never been more lonely in my whole life

I’m only 8 weeks with my first ever baby and between my boyfriend of 3 years seemingly not understanding me, my best friend travelling the other side of the world and feeling isolated from my family, I’ve never felt more lonely in my whole life. I have a long history with depression and I thought I would feel a lot more hopeful when I found out I was pregnant but it’s been the exact opposite. I’ve been desperately trying to make plans and give myself little things to look forward to but my depression is really getting the better of me right now. I’m struggling with just getting through the day. I know it’s the first trimester and pregnancy is supposed to be hard but how am I going to do this, especially without the ‘village’ everyone is always saying you need?
