EDF is forecasting the energy price cap could rise 27% from January. A typical bill would go from £1,723 to £2,192. That's £469 more, in the middle of winter. Where's the help?

I'll be honest, I'm not expecting much from today's Budget. Same old story. They give with one hand and take with the other, and we pay for it. Anyone else feeling the same?

Income tax thresholds frozen again, and every pay rise drags more people into higher tax. That's not help. It's a quiet tax rise.

Freezing prescription charges isn't a gift. It's keeping things the same for people who are already stretched. Don't dress it up as help.

Budget bingo. Which one do you reckon we'll hear today? 1. Difficult choices 2. Fair share 3. Working people 4. Black hole Reply with your number. 👇

Budget day. The National Living Wage is reportedly heading to about £13.20 an hour. Good news for the lowest paid. But the higher rate threshold is frozen, so every pay rise drags more people into higher tax. Who's looking out for the middle?

Reportedly, tomorrow's Budget adds 2p to the price of a pint. Pubs are already struggling with their costs. Is the local still part of your week, or has it got too dear? Be honest.

The Government's big cost of living help today is cheaper gherkins and marmalade. Reportedly worth about £21 a year on groceries. EDF forecasts energy bills up £469 from January. Pass the gherkins.

Tomorrow's Budget. You get ONE of these. 1. Lower tax on your pay 2. Lower energy and food bills I'm going for 2. What's yours? Just reply 1 or 2.

Reportedly, HMRC will be able to take unpaid tax straight from your bank account for debts up to £10,000. If that's right, that could reach millions of people. They promise safeguards. Mistakes still happen. Who checks the checker?

The Budget is on Wednesday. Three things most of us want to hear. Will bills come down? Will tax stay where it is? Will working people finally get a break? What's your one ask for the Chancellor?

The Adam Smith Institute says the average household could pay about £240 more on gas, electricity and water next year, plus around £250 more on food and fuel. If that's right, that's nearly £500 a year. How many families have £500 spare?

The state pension is reportedly going up 3.9%, to £13,036 a year.If that's right, that's £489 more, and low income pensioners won't pay tax on it. Fair enough. Now where's the same promise for people who get up and go to work every day? Wednesday will tell us.

They told us to go electric. Now electric cars are getting a pay-per-mile tax. A Treasury job advert says it's meant to replace fuel duty in the long term, so petrol and diesel drivers are next. Do as you're told, then get taxed for it. Who asked for this?

Lunchtime. Packed lunch, meal deal or skipping it now? Be honest, has it changed since last year?

Prices are up 3.5% in a year. That's the third rise in a row. Has your pay gone up by that much? Make that make sense.

Good news for pensioners who've paid in all their lives. Now let's see what Wednesday has for working families.

Monday morning. Alarm goes off. Be honest, what's the first thing you do? Phone, kettle or snooze?

Sunday night. Tea's done, work tomorrow. What are you watching tonight?

Hard working people pay their tax. They pay their bills. They ask for nothing. Then they get told there's no money. Who is this country actually being run for?
