NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
‘In the run-up to Christmas I will increase my hours,’ mum-of-three Louise Parker admits.
The 48-year-old, from Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, works full-time for a construction company, does shifts at a Working Men’s Club on Friday evenings and takes on catering jobs over the weekend.
She said: ‘I will then be dashing home to feed my kids to make sure they are okay. Sadly, I don’t get to see my children as often as I would like to.’
This is is what widowed Louise will have to do to get through the cost-of-living crisis this festive season.
