Q. How have you been managing with the additional costs of winter?

Im really not managing. Im spiralling into tons of debt as I don't have any where near enough to make ends meet, everything costs more now, food is so expensive. I had to borrow money off my dad this week to put money on the gas and electric and buy some milk eggs and bread to last until I get a food bank delivery saturday. It was a good job he did lend me some money because my period start and I had no sanitary products left in the house...id have had to stay indoors for 5 days had my dad not given me some cash as I wouldn't have been able to buy them, so I'd have to stay in...something that's happened before. My sons shoes are too small amd he has no warm jumpers to fit him. I would cut back and get rid of Broad band but its an essential item as I have a child in year 10 amd she needs to get online for her school work.
