Our present income is £3800 which I know is very healthy. But my husband's business (he's also a secondary teacher) in iPad consultancy is drying up so we are (as off March) loosing £1000 off our income. I'm a saver so have web savers for Christmas, car repairs, holidays, house stuff etc. This will all have to stop. Our DD and SO are £1900. I spend £100 on food a week (3dd plus me and dh), £30 a week on diesel. One of the cars is electric so costs nothing to run except the lease payments. So £2800-£2420 leaves us £380 for extras like days out, clothes, uniform, holidays, birthdays etc... I know folks survive on less. Can you help me?
