Make sure your home is in negative equity and/or in the process of being repossessed.
Stop receiving Universal Credit if you are working, not even for childcare costs. If you have a job, you are not entitled to a scrap of additional help.
Don't use an app to find out if the bus is coming.
Don't order anything online.
Only listen to music after going to a shop to buy a CD.
No streaming TV or movies.
No paying by Apple Pay or contactless. As you don't have a cheque book, you need to travel to a cash machine and take the money out in advance. This also means if you have a car, you cannot park anywhere, as you can't pay at the machine in cash anymore.
No Ubers, just minicabs that take cash, which you will need on you before making the call.
Keep your child off school and don't phone in. The school will be fine with a note in a fortnight after you've been on holiday. If you want, tell them you've moved. They won't check it, they'll just offroll them without a thought to their safety or wellbeing.
Feel obliged to drink lots of beer and never forget that a true geezer bird enjoys having men feel her up, as she's always up for it. Just ask the writers of the lads' mags.
And if you were wondering, no, you still cannot afford to buy a house without a man. Women were still far more likely to be on less than £13k in London when even the repossessed places were around £40,000. Two and a half times your salary, that's your lot.
On a positive note, it's just come in that you can't actually be sacked because you are pregnant - however, they can sack you for anything else, as there's no way of proving otherwise. And if they say you're actually redundant because the rest of the team absorbed your work during the 6 weeks you were off on your £42.10 a week maternity allowance, you're stuffed.
And don't even think of admitting you have a disability or a child on a job application. You don't have any rights for adjustments or to be treated fairly in recruitment.
Ah yes, the 1990s. Such Halcyon Days.
