Yes, we are IE me and my family inc those that live away from home. Thankfully we
all have a few quid in savings and no loans to speak of other than mortgages.
But we are feeling it.
Diesel/petrol shooting up again. (When oil prices fell a month or two ago the suppliers kept the larger profits)
Gas/Electric prices are massively up and may take off like a rocket.
Supermarket shop, as most other things shooting up massively - quiet a few items up
by 10% over the week.
Mortgage rates going up.
Building materials are either not available or a lot higher than a few months ago.
Property prices in most parts of England went up again last month, a sure-fire recipe for disaster.
Even fish and chips have massively shot up in price - last Friday, a portion of F &C's from our local
per head was 12-75p I think up from 11-50 from about 3 weeks ago.
Used car prices shooting up last several months - down to production/chips problems they are saying.
Not sure if we are using more water but these damn water bills - 345 pounds for 6 months for three adults in our humble home. (We had the systems checked last year no leaks bloody water meter forced on us when we moved here - these water meters print money for water co's.
Sky tv shooting up - we have Now tv, and Netflix as well - going to reduce our packages.
I have a PAYG phone as I don't do mobiles and just noted 3 upped prices from 3p a min to 10p a minute.
Getting in builders/carpenters in London you just can't get them or it is ludicrous prices. IMO some of these cowboys will keep on giving estimates/quotes until they move on to the next job and those that can afford or have urgent needs will pay as often no alternative
Our gardener demanded more money last - may tell him to top off and pay one of the neighbour's kids to cut the grass, trim hedges etc and pay them 12/14 pounds an hour.
We have the windows cleaned and pay 30 quid and cutting down from once a month to once every two months.
Inflation is set to go up further and those most impacted will be the retired, own their own home and have a relatively small private pension they paid for but then no better off than those on pension credits - what a smack in the face.
If we get a long cold weather spell many more will suffer and I'm reading often now for many its a choice between food and heating
Take care
