A family say they are struggling to leave 'a normal life' as the cost of living soars. In a scenario no doubt repeated across the country, Greta Bubneliene said her energy bills had nearly doubled.
As a result, she and her husband have been forced to keep their heating use to a minimum and have been dressing their one-year-old daughter, Lily, in "more and more clothes". Greta said wages and Universal Credit were barely enough to cover bills.
The family, who lives in Seacroft, Leeds, are watching their bills get higher and higher as the cost of living crisis bites. Great works as a manager on a part-time basis at an Italian restaurant, while her husband is a delivery driver.
