Hey guys, my husband and I are really skint this month and I just worked out that we have 20£/week left this month. Bills are all paid - my hubby started a new job and we had to live off my part time wage (still earned too much to receive any benefits).
We might get some benefits but I don't know how long it'll take to process the forms so I'd rather not rely on it.
We don't have to pay for petrol as we don't have a car - my hubby got a bus pass from his new job so he doesn't need to pay for transport fares either. I work from home so no bus fares there either.
But I have some appointments next week and I will use my bike as much as possible. The only thing left is the odd bus fare when I can't use my bike (1.80£ or 3.40 £ return) and obviously food. Oh and a gift for someone who is getting married..wah!! But I might just bake her a little wedding cake for which I got the ingredients anyway. They will only have a small ceremonyl.
I have food left in the freezer and cupboards so I will raid them first.
I will have to cater for my husband AND myself so I need some money saving tips (with regards to food as well as other tips and tricks) - especially because I am on SW...:cry:
We will be ok next month but that'll be a looong 3 weeks until then...
Any idea??
