I have literally no money - £12.50 to my name?
What should I do. I've applied for some jobs for over xmas but I think it may be too late. I have accommodation paid for till summer. I wanted it to be a really great christmas but now its just gonna be the same old crap as it is every year. The only choice is to go home to my parents- they have invited me home and dont mind me staying until the start of next term (uni student) but im getting too old to keep doing this. Im sick of being dependent on people. The other option was to find a job but most do not take people on for such short amount of time. Bar jobs want you to work new years eve and xmas eve- employers are just so unreasonable. This is a reason why christmas is a misery for many. My family will think im a scrooge as I don't have money to buy them anything. (My fathers had to buy my mothers for me and vice- versa) Im always getting invites to go somewhere with friends but never have the money. Staying in is not an option ( parents) Im stuck

So swollow your pride and go home and have a good one, take care and be lucky

Mr_Happy
Agency work is the answer. Demand for drink, food and toy warehouse operatives are high, in the run-up to christmas. Sign on with more than one agency to improve your chance of gaining employment.

Spend xmas with family. I sure they realise you dont have money for gifts. That wont matter to them. There,s always hope things will turn around for you when you least expect it.


Nadia K
hi,sorry to hear that your in this situation ,but it looks like you have no other option.I am pretty sure your parents wont think your being tight,they are probably happy to have you home for Christmas.Its really hard to find a job right know but maybe you can find one after Christmas and buy your parents something then as a thank you .

your in a crap situation love, no money but loads of friends. you don`t want to spend Christmas alone, go and see you parents i know you are skint just get a pack of cheep Christmas cards give them all a card each. ask if they would not mind you bringing a friend that will make it more bearable.

catch 22 situation happy Christmas anyway it will sort it self out.

After you get through the holidays, you should start writing down exactly how you spend whatever money you have, and try to cut corners. You say that you don't want to be dependent on others, and the only way to get that done is to sacrifice for a little while. Like, maybe you'll have to take on a job that requires you to work weekends and holidays. It's not that bad, really. I've been doing it since I was 16.

I'd also try to get creative. Does your school offer student jobs on campus? Could you pick up a tutoring job on your days off? Do you have a network of friends to refer you to any jobs? Etc.

Above all, keep a positive attitude. If you start to feel desperate, negative or needy, that will reflect onto potential employers. Don't see yourself as a victim. Take hold of the situation!

I started in a Saturday job when I was 16 and worked in various jobs until my husband and I were both made redundant 3 years ago. Imagine that one with a mortgage and 1 kid and another on the way.

My husband works shifts and works most of his days off so sometimes only has 1 day off every 2 weeks.

I have been at home with my 2 kids but am starting a job in January and it will mean my husband and I will be working opposite shifts.

I would love to go to Uni, but we can't afford it.

Think yourself lucky you have a family to go home to. There are people who have no money or family.

Self pity is one of the most horrible human traits. Shake it off or it will make you a misery guts.

You maybe need to be less generous through the year with bottles of wine etc for friends. Where are those friends now? Inviting you to theirs for Christmas, probably not.
Grow up, get a job, working Christmas Eve and New Years Eve aint a struggle, it can be good fun and in the right job you can get extra tips at this time of year.


gnarlytom
please dont take offence, but if you want money, then you have to be willing to do what other people dont want to (thats why they pay you to do it!) and at this time of the year, that means working on 'special' days.

i think you know the answer to your question already - if you want money you're going to have to make some sacrifices.
My advice would be to get a job; apply for as many as you possibly can, give letters and cv's to every place you can possibly imagine. if they dont get back to you with 48 hours, then phone them as ask if they've had chance to look at your cv. Dont give up! there are loads of jobs at this time of year, there wil be one for you, its not too late.

Tell them you're willing to work whenever. Then, when youve actually got the job see if you can get out of one of the 'special' days, eg if they ask you to work new years and christmas, tell them you can only do one of them. make up some excuse if you have to. tell them aunty x has made a suprise visit and you havnt seen her in years or whatever.

the worse than can happen is that you get the sack - you'll still get paid for the shifts you have done. then you could awlays get back to pestering all the places you handed those cv's out to again...

£12.50 is more than we have had left to our name in the past. We've been left with 50p to our name in between my partners' low wage packets. He's on a low wage, we have a mortgage and I'm not working as we have a young baby. So in a way you have it easy as you don't have anyone else to support.

My advice would be to go home to your family. At least you have that option. We don't.

Ah this is what I refer to as growing pains ...... You're getting older and valuing your mature status but have little real dependence to back it with. Unfortunately in the real world we have to work long hours and at inconvenient times to ensure our loved ones do benefit on special occasions like these (christmas, birthdays etc). The only advice I could possibly give you is make a new years resolution that when you do find employment set aside money for such things so you won't find yourself in the same mess next year.... but for the record it never gets any easier lol


honey
Go home for Christmas,I'm sure your parents don't expect pressies,they know you have limited funds---your at uni!!

When you at home make yourself useful,don't wait to be asked.....peel the veg.....wash up.....clean the bathroom.

As for jobs try temping agencies,a day work here and here adds up.ie Washing up in a restaurant......waitressing.....cleaning... only temp not a carreer choice...so don't be too fussy.

After uni you will get a well paid job and then you buy lovely pressies

good luck and merry xmas

Stop what you’re doing! Stop it immediately! Stop throwing you money away into these fraudulent websites with these phony work at home jobs that claim to make you rich fast. They are all Scams ive tried them all and what I’m about to tell you is going to change your life!

The votes have just come back in and all the number has already been tallied great news!! Its official there is a new top free survey site which will completely take over the home workers market in a few months. They are offering high payouts and fat paychecks in you mail box every week yeah! You heard me every week!

Here is where you can go to find the link:

I probably don’t need to mention this but I will anyway…….Bookmarking or saving this website to your favorites list is a good idea!

Get a job, plenty of places still need help and you don't have to work Xmas or new year. That's embarrassing getting your parents to buy each other a present from you. Seriously what age are you? Ive been on my own 2 feet since i was 16 and have always managed to get a decent Christmas in for my family. You are selfish and lazy that's all.


gordonmother
Go home and stay with your parents during the Christmas period and start afresh looking for a job after holiday . Two advantages, one you make your parents happy, and second, you will have a better chance to find a job, as the employers are not looking for people during the holiday for a permanent job. It is only part-time jobs at Christmas and they pay peanuts.

when christmas has finished get a job full time and you can start saving up money to be able to afford to rent a flat and you will have money spare as well depending on how much you earn my mam and sister think im scrooge because i have a bit of money saved up and never go anywhere and hardly spend anything but i have bought myself a computer and stuff i want from ebay and a psp i started saving when i was 16 and now i am 18 i have 550 something pound if i never bought any of that stuff i would have had over 2.000 thousand pound most probably in september i was a few days afrom being on the dole and i had applied to a few places then i finally got a job wilkinsons or i would have been going back to college but i am only temporary there and i will have my glass collectors job on a saturday still though earning 19 pound i like it there


Anna D
Get a job during the regular school year so you're not stuck without any money during the holidays. Also, stop whining about how you don't want to stay with your parents but you don't want to work on holidays either. Grow up, you're old enough for that.


taz man
you can't have your cake and eat it. Some of us save for Christmas and go without bottles of wine when we can't afford them. Anyway enjoy Christmas with your family this year maybe you will enjoy it more than you think

Merry Christmas.

get sum self respect and change things around

i dont mean to soundobnoxious but my little brother is exactly the same
get a job wateva it is

Ruggles
Go and work in a holiday camp over Christmas!!!
It may have all changed but thats where I met my hubby! Butlins staff have a great time over the Xmas period, there's a real camaraderie, great nights out and yes, you may have to work some unsocial shifts but so do half the camp so the parties start when your shift ends, whenver that may be!
