Just Popping in to say hi & Small update

[@hev2519]

Hello 👋 there certainly seems to be less flexibility in our budgets recently. So much is going up in price or is unavailable. We need hearing tests, eye tests and new glasses, a new accessible (since my accident) bathroom, dentist bills arrggg! It goes on and on doesn’t it. You can do this though and so can I 👍

Hiya, everything is increasing except the wages. Had to pay car insurance but that went on a cc cause I just don't have the cash. I hope you manage to get your new accessible bathroom cause that'll help you so much. The dentist I only have to pay for major work but I pay £20+ monthly as my dentist is now private so it covers check ups and cleans etc. I feel like I'm always in a financial rot yearly. Can't seem to get ahead even when I start the year off well. Sending you lots of love. We've got this 🩷

I know my dear. It is so hard to end the budget on the positive side these days. I dont know the last time I got a takeaway, a haircut or new clothes. I buy used clothes now. Electricity is still expensive, we export electricity to other countries, and import their prices. Got about a 4.5% rise on my income from May, but after tax it is not much, and it certainly doesnt cover all the increases in the society. But, we do our best, right? I go for walks - absolutely the best for mental health! And its free! ❤

Cost of living is just insane at the moment. I might get a pay rise in August...who knows. 🩷
