As for coping me and daughter will do it with ease we did well on last lock down hopes and fear... hopes are to get through the winter months without so much worries. Fears... are to be overloaded with more and more needed onto prepayment meter. March 2020 lockdown was easier. I had a reserve this year its January its colder ,colder than last year. I did a sheet the other day comparing what I spent 2019 /2020 onto the prepayment meter lets see what this month brings. The government haven't factored in gas, electric, home schooling, maintaining a 21c through the day can be expensive. If daughter was at school I wouldn't have heating on until 20 mins before she was due home.. school sent message out about food parcels for this week. I confirmed by phone heard nothing all week. Text this morning saying its vouchers next week so I emailed them the following: "Good morning just to make you aware Daughter did not receive the food parcel this week. I did telephone but received no further information, however due to the governments such short notice I can understand how this may have been overlooked and I can manage this week. Also thank you very much for the Xmas eve bag you gave [my daughter] I did not look in it straight away and was blown away by the generosity. And I did fill up a little thank you can the government not put pressure on British gas to hurry the warm home discounts up, from memory I think they pay them in March"
