Hello Ali. I came across your Chanel and am really interested in what you might have the share as I am in a very similar position to you and am learning to adapt. I have a very small pension like you but no income from other sources. I have two little pooches ( my biggest expense bless them ). Lost my mum 2.5 years ago so now on my own - we lived together - and had to give up my full time job then taking pension a bit early to care for mum in the last months. I try now to find any contract work I can where I can work remotely as I can’t leave my dogs for hours every day. Thanks so much for sharing how you get by and for your positivity and hope. I find it all a bit scary having worked full time for so many years and hope to learn from your experiences. 💕

Hi, thanks for joining me. As I have the extra income from the rent I haven't needed to find work yet but I'm open to it as I have no savings. My dog is my luxury and she's still young so definitely can't be left as she gets upset and destroys things! I try to stay positive and make the most of what I do have. I'm always learning so do share what works for you 🙂

@@aliliveswellonless I agree, my dogs are my luxury too and I have signed them up to my vets pet club which I’m finding is cheaper than the more regular visits I have been making to the vets as they get older ( 12 and 9 years ). I’d not want to be without them. 🐾🐾

51 year old teacher here. My family is from Scotland (Airdrie) but moved to England where i was born. Currently i am squirraling as much money away as i can as i want to either go part time or leave teaching entirely. I lost my dad and brother to cancer over the last few years and had a heath scare recently. It makes you reconsider your situation. I look forward to following your journey.😊

@aliliveswellonless
26 күн бұрын
Lidl gather up all their fruit and veg that is on their use by date and put it in these boxes to reduce food waste. The UK has had a massive shift in reducing food waste going to landfill. Sometimes it's stuff that's burst out of prepacked items or just the last few in a tray so they want it gone and a new one put on display. It's just dumb luck if you score one and even luckier if you get a decent one as sometimes the produce isn't usuable (I've had soggy bagged lettuce!) I just got lucky. Most folk who get a good box like to show it off! Like me!😂
