Hi,
What strange times , we are currently in. Hope everyone is doing ok.I have been furloughed so only got half my salary in March and lost other income that wasn't guaranteed but was semi regular ( OH's overtime ).This is definitely teaching me a lot of things and made me reflect on things too.
Health is the most important thing.
Keep safe everyone x4 -
Hi debtaghh
hope you doing ok in this very unstable situation we find ourselves in. I've just been watching the news thinking who would've thought the UK would end up like this...
I'm trying not to stress too much over the situation and taking each day as it comes.As if I'm not already in a complete mess lol

Sorry you have been furloughed and finding money tight debtaghh. I think this lockdown has affected people in one of two ways. If you are working from home or furloughed on 100% pay then most people seem to be better off with no commuting costs and not as many opportunities to spend so lots of spare money. If you are on zero hours contracts or self employed or rely on overtime then money is tight. Hope you can go back to work soon.
