Lil Miss Bump Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 can you start your own slimming world group or something? Or dog walking in the evenings now it's becoming light for longer? Or maybe do some shifts as a personal carer? Isn't it illegal to not rise pay with the rate of inflation? Because of the whole cost of living thing? Hope things sort themselves out hun Xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormchaser09 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I know the pain of that particular letter coming through the post. Mine is £205 and I still have £60 to pay for my son's school trip and we have no food in the house - other than dog food. I can't wiat til one month when I can actually buy something for me. It all goes on the kids dogs or house. As I anly work part time it doesn't go very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo & Oisin Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 this is why I have a moped, just £15 on tax a year and £240 insurance a year, not to mention, It only costs me around £8 a week on fuel, and thats going to work and back 5 days a week! Hahahaha, One big disadvantage though, I can't transport my hounds Luckily my hubby has just got us a nice big Vauxhall vectra with a lovely big boot for our dogs! I actually have no idea how much that car is costing us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
