The foodbank is just busier & busier.
I really am not sure how long I sustain this TBH.

I know I moan my face off about my grocery budget but I do realise that I am so lucky to not have to rely on a foodbank.beanielou said:The foodbank is just busier & busier.

No wonder you're tired with all the extra work involved at the FB. Is it busier because of people being laid off/losing their jobs due to the virus? Another one here grateful to have never needed a foodbank although I have experienced being extremely skint when the kids were little. My lovely mum used to help me out when things were tough.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

A mixture of things I think SA.
People on furlough, being paid off, reduced income, no free scool lunches, all sorts really.
Anyways its Friday afternoon & pouring with rain.
So wet when I came in I had to change my clothes.
A bit of paperwork to do & then I am signing off for weekend & will try really hard not to think about the foodbank until Monday!!I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Oh Beanielou I feel for you.I have been through that. You just need to make the most of the time they have left. They are very lucky to have such a responsible, loving owner as you. Enjoy your time with them. It is very upsetting to think of the future. Take care xx2025 Decluttering 15113⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That’s the trouble with fur babies they don’t live as long as we’d like them too very sadly 🙁 I hope you would consider taking on another rescue cat in the future though, you have so much to offer them xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
