Janet Naylor/ Solihull
“I normally put my Christmas lights up in October, I’m worried I won’t be able to afford that this year.”
“I worked for 29 years. I’m on disability benefits now, but why shouldn’t I have nice stuff? I don’t go out for coffee, this is my luxury.”
Talking about little treats
“I am prepared to just have soup for tea but I want my cats to eat the best.”
Talking about the cost of living crisis
“There are some things I am happy to compromise on, but keeping some of the same brands in the cupboards tells the kids everything is OK.”
