Dawn Fazackerley-King says there is "nothing fancy" in her regular outgoings
As Chancellor John Healey puts the final touches to his first Budget, how are the "squeezed middle" feeling after years of cost-of-living pressure?
Dawn Fazackerley-King is trying to work out how she and her family will pay higher mortgage costs anticipated in a few months' time.
"There's just no more fat to trim," says the mother-of-two.
The interest rate on their Ipswich home loan could rise from 1.4% to about 5.3%, which, Dawn says, could add "about £250 extra a month just for living in the same property".
