What Shall I Do?

[abbeylee90]

I'm really struggling for money and I got to afternoon with my mum on Saturday and only got what I can. I can't ask for anymore money 

[Hazlinny]

Abbey/ Will your sister be joining you and your mother for tea?

[Alan365]

Heavens to Murgatroyd !

 

[scorpiojo]

You tell her the truth about everything now, Abbey.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, do you think there will ever come a point when you stop hiding things, big things, from your mum? Your financial problems are getting worse with every passing week, I don't think you can keep up your pretence much longer. You say you are worried about your mental health, but part of that must be because you have got so used to lies and evasions, your head must be spinning at times!

[scorpiojo]

Don't you get paid weekly, Abbey?

[barry1010]

The best mothers' day gift you can give your mother is to tell her truth about everything today, so together you can start afresh, set realistic goals and get the mess sorted out.  You'll be happier, your mum will know what's going on and you can still have a nice Sunday together, whether that's high tea or beans on toast at home.

Please tell your mum the truth...have a real heart to heart.

Right now you are just getting deeper and deeper into this hole that you've been digging for months.

if you cant afford it youll just have to lose your deposit

[abbeylee90]

I got the money in my purse but that's it. No I had no idea as I had direct debits coming out and paying her rent

[naomi24]

Abbey, just lose your deposit and tell your mum you'll get her something when you get paid.  If you can't afford it there's no point fretting over it.

[newmodarmy]

You got paid 2 days ago. Have you spent it all?

You say your last pay day was 2 weeks ago. Surely you mean 9 days ago.

The deposit has already been spent so there's nothing you can do. But you can cancel and save paying the balance. But you'd have to tell your Mum and explain. You need to tell her you've only been working 17 hours a week, not the full time hours you've been pretending to work. 

[abbeylee90]

She said not to ask her for money this month.

[Hazlinny]

How much is the special afternoon tea - is it at a hotel?

[abbeylee90]

Yes 2 weeks ago I got paid for my monthly bus ticket, rent phone bill I'm trying to sell my old phone 

[abbeylee90]

No and it £32 on day

[barry1010]

Talk to your mum

[abbeylee90]

She's not approachable 

[newmodarmy]

Surely you get paid weekly? So if you get paid on Tuesdays that's 9 days ago not 2 weeks ago.

If it's fortnightly you should have received a  fair sum on Tuesday

[newmodarmy]

"She's not approachable" I'm sure she'd rather you tell her

If not, just leave a note saying it's off.

Or leave your answerbank screen open so she can see what you've been posting

[abbeylee90]

No 2 weeks ago Tuesday
