Growing up we were so poor, I couldn't leave the house becouse my parents couldn't afford clothes for me.
When I was 8 they bought me a hat.
So I could look out the window.

"I’ve been so poor I had to sell my sole to the devil. Best thing I have ever done.
Sole of your shoe? No my fish. !
I bet you put the White Cliffs of Dover as a down payment as well  "
No if I done that I would make a rod for my own back.  |

My family was so poor when I was growing up that when my dad found some crutches in the street he came home and broke my leg so I had something to play with |

That
1. I restricted the kids to using one or two squares of toilet paper
2. coffee was liquid chicory
3. one chicken breast fed four by shredding it and wrapping it in a white sauce (pepper salt flour and butter)
Making a thin crepe to wrap it in.
4. one chicken breast in soup that was more broth than not to feed four
5. Nothing but a pot of jam in the cupboard and a neighbour gave us 12 bread rolls that morning (not knowing)
6. One bar of sunlight soap for family - cut into 4 sections - washing up, hand basin, body wash and shampoo.
It happens - tough at the time - we wake up with a breath, eye sight, and perhaps today will be different |

"I was living on the street and had to beg for food"
You serious? I'm in that situation now. I don't beg and stay clean. Its weird, because I'm better off than if I was in a flat as I don't have bills to pay lol. I got a tent etc and got it quite cozy TBH. I shower at gym and eat healthy. Its the people on drugs and drink that need to beg. Not saying you were but I understand their situations. |
