Sunday 9th March 2025 20:02. This is the exact time that I started to write this blog.
At the time of writing, I’m 30 years old. I’ve just experienced the most difficult 12 months of my life. In chronological order:
- 1st April: My wife’s grandmother passed away
- 9th April: I lost my job
- 20th April: I married my wife (about the only positive in the last 12 months!
- May: Liquidated my business
- 6th June: My first niece was born! (2nd positive!)
- 8th June: My mum passed away.
- 3 different jobs before settling on one in September. Postman, Recruitment Process Consultant and then and currently Laundry Operative.
- September: my wife’s Grandad passed away.
- February: Declared Bankruptcy.
- February: 1st food bank delivery.
- March: HMRC changed my tax code and as a result, I am emergency taxed over £100 extra per week.
The last straw came when I had to ask my dad to borrow some milk, that’s how skint I am. Things have to change, things will change.
