JobBridge & part time work?! Struggling to survive!!

Lunaarli

I'm doing an internship and delighted with the experience im getting.
I just don't know how I can survive the last two months of it. After rent and bills every week i now only have €28 a week for everything(food, phone, travel etc)

My internship is from 8am-5pm mon-fri.
Is there any way I could work weekends or evenings?

I would be better off moving back with my parents or brother, getting €188 for doing SFA a week.. No bills.. No worries.

It's such a struggle.

Would appreciate advice from people in the know!

Thanks

if yer really stuck, then maybe get the really cheap ready made meals in dunnes/tesco.

where are ye travelling to and from?

I live on a big pot soup/curry that I make every week. The value meals would be a crazy luxury for me!!!
I only get the luas when I'm too tired to walk (petrified of cycling here!)

I would really love to just be able to work a bit to have some sort of life!
I don't go out at all. My life is quite depressing!

If not, maybe talk to your CWO
