Working tax has been scrapped and the more I earn the more they take.
Today is one of those days I want to escape for a few hours but I know I can't - Left my 2 dd's arguing to pop to the shops....now sat in the supermarket carpark - checking my bank balance (for the 5th time this week) before I go in to get some food. I could cry!
I have absolutely no savings. Christmas goes on a credit card which I never pay back.
I sometimes wished I'd stayed married to have two incomes - then I'd be able to take my dd's on holiday - afford to go out and buy something they needed when they needed it. It's depressing.
Is this it forever?
I don't want to sound like a moany pants. We have our health and a roof over our heads but its exhausting trying to keep up. Especially when my dd's friends have the newest pair of trainers, going on holiday, shopping etc etc....
