FINANCES
Kate Rogers sighed. She had no idea how on earth she was going to cope. She knew her job was dodgy, and there would always be risks, but she had to keep her children fed and under a roof. Now she was without an income or any means of support. She had lost her job at a drugs packaging company when the boss ended up locked up, a week ago.
Kate was 23, and had three kids under the age of seven. They all seemed restless and hungry from the netto own brand pizzas they'd been eating all week. Any way to save money was important now, and Kate spent every last bit of time searching for a job. She has no savings, trust funds or close family. Nothing to fall back on. Her eldest, Rhys, who was only 7, tugged at her waistband.
'Mum, I'm 'ungry. There's no crisps or nothin'. He whined.
'I know sweetie. I'll get some more later.' Kate sighed. She would have to go shopping. Spend more money. More money she didn't have.
