Fab advice here Suzanne, I have a contingency already because been caught by this in the past. It’s so important to have one. Sending love and healing xx

Great information/ advice. Personally as near retiree keeping out of debt has been priority and contingency fund has really helped. I used to use credit cards but just spirals and using savings makes you think twice before spending when you have worked so hard to save it. Thank you so much for posting this while you are unwell too, shows true strength, sending best wishes for a quick recovery ❤

Sorry to hear your facing a cancer journey. You take care and the time to get well. Love your channel, such great information and presented in such a down to earth easy to follow way

Really great information! Thank you! 😊

Hi hope u alright .get well soon suzzana❤wish you a long and healthy asweet and happy life with your 👪 👨‍👧‍👧 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 family❤❤❤❤❤

Have a word with MacMIllan nurses, I was able to get a small grant which helped with extra heating as the chemo made me feel the cold more and also taxis to appointments.

Forward planning is important wishing you a quick recovery from upcoming treatment and surgery

So sorry to hear about your breast cancer hoping and praying all goes well for u, health is your wealth. Im trying to build up a fund if i ever need to go for surgery private or anything like that 2.

Very helpful

Watching and sending love and healing to you xx

Sending you love ❤

Sending all my love and healing. Staying positive is the best way to be and also to be organised- which you seem to be totally on top of 👍 Love your suggestion to list what’s in the freezer, I always forget what’s in mine. Focus on you and share videos you feel drawn to. 🤗

Sorry to hear this, wishing you healing and sending good wishes ❤

Suzanne, I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, sending you lots of love and hugs for your journey. So glad your daughter is there to give you a hand. I've had a recent diagnosis too with regards to my heart, so I'm on a special diet which is really challenging my budget. All my best wishes for you xxx

Take care of yourself. Heather

Hope all goes well with operation, sending get well soon wishes xx❤

Take care of yourself and always remember to talk about whatever you feel comfortable talking about 💐 A difficult but important video 👍🇦🇺

Take one day at time, that is how I got through all my treatment. I had breast cancer and went through my treatment 13 years ago. My work were great and paid me most of my wages throughout though I was left with a shortfall in budget particularly just before I went back to work as I had to extend the time I was off; I had 9 months off in total.

Sending our love and hope xxxx

look after yourself, and take it easy

The best of luck wishing you all the luck and strength xxx

Bless you ❤ Whatever you manage to video and put out will be lovely. You look after yourself.

Almost 7 years ago my husband went to bed and woke up the next morning completely paralysed down his right side and unable to speak. He’d had a stroke at 52. The financial implications and me being his carer were overwhelming. I knew we had to plan to move forward but I felt I was at the bottom of a sheer cliff with no path visible. Paths are always there you just need to travel positively and take small steps. Fabulous positive video - you go girl xx

I was diagnosed stage 4 ovarian two years ago. What the illness makes you do is learn to take one day at a time. It forces you to live in the present as you don't know how much of a future you will have, at least I don't. You can make mash potatoes and freeze them in portions. Comforting and easy to eat if the chemo gives you a sore mouth. Soups of different kinds are also good to batch make and split into portions so you have something you can just put in the microwave for those days when you don't have much appetite. All the best for the journey none of us want to be on x

Can I suggest the 10% trick? You look at all your flexible bills and try to cut them by 10%. So, for example, food would now be £22.50. How? Work out a series of really cheap meals (jacket potato with beans and cheese or 10% of yesterday's curry). Have one veggie meal ( lentil patties/veggie tray bake) per week. Save 10% on energy - only put the oven on once or twice a week and ensure it is filled - for example veggie tray bake + a 'cake of the week' ( low sugar banana cake?). Put your heating to come on/ go off 10 mins earlier. Social life - once a month invite friends round for coffee rather than always going out. Little trimmings here and there surpisingly add up! I didnt think they would make a difference but they do. Sorry to hear youve lost a side hustle, a nasty shock when you are trying so hard to pay down debt. Hope this idea helps.

Hi sweetie great budget plan .keep the 100 pounds for the pension and health care plan and retirement .Great 👍 budget plan and sinking funds ❤❤❤❤❤😊

A lot of fresh stuff for 1 person, top tip; do all your cooking on one day before it goes off and freeze it. Also, I'd use the salad first. But it's just a passing thought, lol x Enjoying your channel x ❤

I bought a second hand phone and buy a giffgaff package for £6 a month, free calls, free texts and 2gb data. I also invested in an electric blanket, good thermal layers, heatholder socks and a fleece oodie so I don't need to have any heating on unless it gets really cold - my energy bills work out about £55 a month for a small 2 bed flat.

sorry to hear about you income, but you're actually lucky ..I've seen on some other uk TH-cam channels that i watch..they are trying to survive on half of your income...with children some of them...i agree with all of your pointers on budgeting 😊

I use cash whenever I can. A written record of all monies (cash or card) spent is kept and that is a great strategy for keeping an eye on the budget 😊 Over here in Oz it is reversed - winter I do not have heating but summer the air conditioning is needed and that puts the power bill up. Self care is needed to keep the spirits up 👍 Good luck with the budget.✔️🇦🇺

I enjoyed your video Suzanne & hope you're getting better. I find myself having far less direct debits now as I get worried about going overdrawn .So I pay for most bills with cash.I mainly just pay my energy bill by direct debit now & even then I use variable dd which means I just pay what I've used each month.I must admit I have to be reasonably organised to do it that way as the bills will be much higher in the winter. Wishing you well.

Bless you my lovely. I’m so sorry that you’ve lost income. You have been very thorough with your budget. I’m very interested to hear about side hustles, most pay very low amounts. Such as survey sites. I’ve sat down today and re-worked my monthly budget, everything has gone up. I’ve rounded everything up, regarding my monthly direct debits, the extra bits create a float in my bank account. I use cash for petrol and food. I pay my savings first, then direct debits, then cash. Anything that’s left at the end of the month goes into a pot , it slowly builds for birthdays etc.

What a fab shop, I love broccoli 🥦 too

I love greegs 🇬🇧

Well done😊

I hope you are feeling better? That’s a great range of food and I enjoyed your video 😊 I’ve also been trying to reduce processed food and it’s not easy to eliminate all of it - but I try to stick to 80/20. I find bread the most difficult as proper sourdough is not easy to find and costs a fortune- I keep trying to not eat bread but it’s definitely my one addiction! I’ve read that if you put mushrooms on the windowsill for a couple of hours before you cook them it hugely increases the vitamin D in them so that’s worth doing if you can.

Fresh is best 😊 Cheese and broccoli 🥦 quiche sounds yummy. If you have the time, then cooking from scratch is best because you can name the majority of the ingredients and price the recipe. Good shopping haul👍 Always read labels and when in doubt check the internet databases. Nice video 😊👍🇦🇺.

Will mainly go for fresh food but do get occasional yellow stickers.. don’t tend to get much ready meals even yellow sticker.. bonus is getting fresh food yellow sticker.. made courgette soup as got 2 packs on yellow sticker think 50p each.. for 2 broccoli in fridge 15p each.. maybe more soup!

Love fresh food! Much better for us than ready made x

Let me know in the comments about your experience of being careful with grocery spending 😊

Yummy and give me second helpings✔️🇦🇺

I have a store card for everywhere. It really annoys me when it's one price for one person and another with a storecard. Even superdrug do this now. Sign up as soon as you can 😀
