What Do I Do?

[abbeylee90]

I'm really struggling financially and don't get paid till next Friday. How do I get money?

[newmodarmy]

//I know this probably irrelevant but when I first started care home supervisor had a meeting with the manager and carer about cleaning products being left out and she was very upset tbh I don't feel guilty anymore because I can't remember being in this position //

You're right: it is irrelevant.  You stopped going in on certain days and they wouldn't change your hours to suit you. But that's in the past; move on.

[abbeylee90]

Yes I didn't choose to do it was happy there full time.

I know hope I think with my next job they did me a favour 

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, pretty irrelevant, Abbey - I think it's your distraction mechanism, a way to avoid the real issues! Still, I think you will have to confront them - and actually deal with them - this time .

[abbeylee90]

I tried no explanation 

[abbeylee90]

I'm to embarrassed to tell my friend I haven't got the money to pay her

[newmodarmy]

You get paid again on Friday. Tell her you'll drop the cash off on Friday when you get paid.

[scorpiojo]

To pay her what?

[scorpiojo]

What happened to the wage you got on Friday?

Some of you have the patience of saints. Abbey you don't really answer anyone on here, just drift to the next comment to up the thread.

You have not had a full time job since you joined the site and also have been to at least 10 jobs (don't forget many on the site have been reading your thousand plus posts from the start and rememebr B&M, 2 dentists, warehouse etc etc.)

Are you telling us your mother is not aware when you are not at work? What do you with all the hours in the day when you're not working? Aren't you at home?

[newmodarmy]

I asked that scorpiojo. The answer was on Direct Debits and driving lessons. I asked what sort of DDs she has but I've had no answers. 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, the thing I am struggling with is...how did you think you were going to pay your friend? If you have so little money coming in, and all these direct debits to pay, you must have known there wouldn't be enough.

[abbeylee90]

Sorry what DDs?

Money is tighter than I thought 

[abbeylee90]

That why I really need a full time job

[Hazlinny]

Prudie/ what do you do with all the hours in the day /

In reality, Abbey should answer "I sit in my bedroom posting to AB" 😀

[abbeylee90]

On my days off I go out with friends or home it killing me

[abbeylee90]

Do I walk everywhere rather than get bus?

[abbeylee90]

Actually haz look for jobs 

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, how long is it since you had a full-time job? Did you cut your spending back at all when you got all these part-time jobs? 

 

[abbeylee90]

Like since last summer and it was 20 hours a week wasn't taxed much

Abbylee - in many ways I am quite sorry for you.  Your world is crashing around you. You must, simply must tell your mum about your problems.  Write down a list so you don't forget any.

I repeat, good luck - but you have to make luck happen :)
