I canāt afford new clothes either Lou, and I work full time! I think, apart from my underwear, every stitch I own was second hand.
I wish I was entitled to a cost of living payment too! I get child benefit, and my little girl gets pip (she has Downās syndrome and a rare heart condition, in case anyone thinks Iām on the fiddle!)
Even on a good wage itās a struggle to get through the months. Itās rare that thereās a month where every bill gets paid, to be honest. With a home, kids, pets and a car thereās always something that comes up.
Thank God Iāve never needed to use a food bank, but I didnāt think anyone could just walk in and be given food parcels. I thought you needed a voucher/referral from some authority to go there? Does she not have to buy gas and electric in the homeless house?
She was definitely on something this morning. Surely to god even her supporters are getting fed up of the āI wish I hadā every single bloody day. Use your free laptop to go on a news site, Lou! And see how bad some people have it!
