Mancie -It depends how you define convenience food
For example - that batter mix you bought on Pancake day was just egg, milk and flour - how come you didn't have those in your kitchen already? |

I have given my kids everything I could afford and they desired in life, and probably my own worst enemy as they would nag a little for more, 'til I sometimes gave in. :( However, they have made their own way in life now, and work extremely hard for their money. |

It was easy enough to do without what people have today 40 or 50 years ago, most of it didn't exist :D

It's hard in Tenerife too. No jobs to be found and a lot of the English are making plans to go back home. I've no idea what they are planning to do there though as their houses won't sell here. I just get angry as they are leaving their dogs behind.
As for us, it isn't as easy as it once was. Our income has been cut by a third because of the exchange rate and it's a bit of a struggle. We have just cut out most of the pleasures in life such as meals out and stuff but I'm sure we'll survive. It's one long worry to pay the bills and another worry is my daughter in Cornwall who is also struggling to bring up three children alone after her husband left..............I wish I could help everyone. I did spash out on a Lottery ticket today! |

We didn't have pasta sauces in jars because we didn't have pasta, but now we have developed a taste for it is it cheaper to make your own sauce and even better to make your own pasta.
Convenience food in jars and packets is the option for busy working people, but if you now aren't working this is the time to learn |

This is not the eighties, this is now. What you have got now try to keep hold of. Lets hope our lords and masters come up with a solution...they created it by not regulating the 'Cash Cow' that is the banking system. |

The £60.50 is the income support rate for an adult, Mancie
Money for children is now paid by tax credits when you are on IS, and there is Child Benefit. :) |
