I’m very lucky that I have been able to save. I worked during lockdown so anything I had, I saved. Lucky that I’m able to heat my home at the moment. I went to count my savings during the week and realised I’ve spent more than half of them. Over £1000. I feel sick about this. Feel like I can’t wait until Christmas is over to start trying to save again. Heartbroken that the only time in my life where if my washing machine broke I could buy a new one and I’ve spent it. Not even the thoughts of seeing the joy on the kids faces is taking it away. We still haven’t had our payment in Northern Ireland for the electric and it’s not going to happen until January now, something I had been relying on. BUT I know I’m lucky and there is people out there far worse off than me.
