The Cost Of Living Crisis

Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

Just had some great news from work. 

This year's pay increase is less than the extra I'm now expected to contribute to my pension each month. 

So my monthly take home will be going down from the end of this month. 

Additionally because it's backdated and my increased pension contributions are greater than my pay increase I should expect a 'significant short fall in pay' this month as they take my arrears out. 

God bless the Tories! And long live the NHS! 😳

I got my wages today. £250 light - and they will be taking another £250 in October and November. 

Cheers lads! 👍

Thanks Spider. Is there any chance you could applaud some into my petrol tank? 😁

Seriously? Fucking hell.

The changes last week actually gave us extra money, do we need it, yes. At the expense of others? No.

Just got myself a Ninja 9 in 1 based on comments from some herberts on here.  Any tips? First & best things to try, what to avoid?

Don’t even peel the spuds. Just chop them up, spray with oil and salt, then 20 minutes and several shakes later you have the best chips. In the world.

A tablespoon of olive oil is nearer 120 calories than 70 and a Tefal Actifry has a paddle that negates the need to shake the pan.
