And I have been spending more on food and utilities (I am home working now so the computer is on all day and the heating now it has become colder). \n\nI also made a decision to give my two girls an increase in pocket money because we could not go out as much and they were spending a lot of time, especially in first Lockdown, playing on apps and games and buying craft stuff online.\n\nIts hard to tell if on balance I am spending more or less because I split up during Lockdown so I am still getting used to this new life. \n\nI am coping, so I know I am not spending a great deal more, but a large part of that is because of the extra £20pw on UC.\n\nThis question though has made me think about my finances - and I am not buying clothes. For me or the girls, I have not budgeted for this and nor have I had to buy any really. I did get one set of school uniform for my eldest who started a new school, and my youngest just got her old school uniform.
