At the moment I get the feeling they're all
'yeah we know it will be hard' etc etc
But the reality is yes it will be hard for most but impossible for others
My df said she currently on her pre pay meter (she can't have billed as her LL won't allow the change)
She's currently putting on £40 week on her electricity and £20 gas. She's already eating mainly value food. Got rid of her car. Everything to lower outgoings but what she saves in that gets swallowed up by all other things rising.
- I know everyone is the same
She said the other day she needed new socks £3.50 or whatever in primark. And she would have to wait to the following week and hope she could find it.
I ended up buying them when I went tk tesco, no issue but it's just so sad. I didn't want her to feel embarrassed so I made out it was an early Easter gift. (normal I buy her an egg) but at easter I'll 'forget' id got the socks and get an egg anyway.
She's not entitled to much help she gets all the right benefits for her wage etc. I've helped her go through it all.
. She relies on food banks heavily as it is.
She said today she's praying the government can help everyone somehow because she feels its not worth living if she's just existing worrying about being cold and scared to warm her home
