A mum-of-12 has given up all hope of ever having a holiday due to the cost of living crisis - despite never having the heating on.
Zoe Sullivan, 44, and husband Ben, 47, already had big bills thanks to their sizeable family. They share children Elisabeth, 17, Olivia, 15, twins Charlotte and Isabelle, 14, and Noah, 12, as well as Eva, ten and Toby, nine, twins Leah and Erin, six, Agnes, five, Joseph, three, and Florence, four months.
RAF serviceman Ben is winding down a 27-year career, meaning they will soon be faced with having to get a mortgage and moving out of military quarters. Zoe said their energy bills have already increased from £240 a month to £400, despite not using the central heating during the summer.
