Loosing £1000 a month

[carries]

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?

I have just got a Microsoft Lumia from Tesco (£7.50 a month) and I am very impressed with it. No need for an expensive iPhone 6.
My 11 year old (almost 12) isn't interested in soft play now either and is becoming increasing 'bored' of trips to National Trust places etc. It's hard entertaining him sometimes! He loves football though so I now send him to the local football academy twice a week.

Change your council tax to pay over twelve months instead of ten, that can make a difference (ours was just under £30 a month difference!)
