Talk of the mini-budget with all the shorting of the pound and cancelling of tax rates, the IMF and OBR goes straight over my head.
All I know, for sure, is that shop prices and household bills are rocketing. Things are bad when Greggs add extra pennies to their pastries and I start to question whether I can afford my favourite M&S rhubarb jam at £2.50 a jar.
When loo rolls seem like luxury items, we know our economy has gone down the pan.
