Has anyone else had to get a job to make ends meet.

I have got a cleaning job so that I will have a bit more money all this cost of living expense is frightening and now my David has gone my income has dropped. Not the best time in life to start a new job but it does occupy my mind which is good.

I’m retired, but do part-time paid work taking writing workshops. Yes, a huge drop in income since he died, and losing the winter fuel allowance isn’t helpful.

Yes, have a little job, it also means I have to be out seeing people which you don’t always want to do but perhaps we need to do so.
