Mum who used to work for Citizens Advice Bureau reveals 4 ways struggling Brits can get discounts on their bills

A MUM who used to work for Citizens Advice Bureau has opened up about a number of ways struggling Brits can save some cash. Amy uploaded a video explaining some easy ways you can save money on bills - and it doesn't take too much effort to sort. Advertisement 2 According to Amy, there is an easy way to pay less on your internet Credit: Getty In 1. WATER The first thing you can do is get in contact with your water company to lower your bills. She explained: 'You can fill out a form — a means test form — and they can lower your water rate for you, and as long as you're on a water meter.' 2. INTERNET According to Amy, there is a way to pay less on your internet too. Advertisement More on money-saving She advised: 'If you have internet in your house, you can contact your internet provider and ask them to put you on a low income plan.' The mum advised that this is typically £14.99 and claims they 'have to do it whether you're in contract or not.' She added they might ask you to do a means form, but said if you are on Universal Credit then you 'will be able to get it.' She said: 'I've had the same plan for 4 years, and it's absolutely fine.' Advertisement Most read in Fabulous 3. RENT Amy advised that you can get help on your rent too. She said that if you are on Universal Credit and you receive Housing Element, but it doesn't quite meet what you're actually paying in rent, the local council can assist you. I'm a mum-of-2 on UC & fed up with people calling me a scrounger - yes I've got a £1.5k pram, I can have nice things too Amy said you can get a discretionary fund, which will fill the gap between what Universal Credit will pay and what your actual rent is paid. She added: 'So all of your rent will be paid. You just have to fill in some forms, send it off, and they'll be able to tell you whether you qualify for that.' Advertisement 4. GAS AND ELECTRIC You can also contact your gas and electric company to get a discounted rate, according to Amy. All you need to do is tell them you are on low income, and you may qualify for a reduction, but you also may qualify for a 'heat-in bursary.' She added: 'So that's like before winter and after winter, they put credit on your account — I think it's something like £300 — and that goes on credit on your account, so it lowers the amount you're paying altogether.' 2 Amy, who used to work for Citizens Advice Bureau, opened up about four ways you can save money on bills Credit: TikTok/@amyyourbipolarbestie Advertisement In the caption of her video, she wrote: 'I am speaking on my own experience and what I have done to save money in present and past. 'Some of these things may not apply to your or may have changed. 'Please consult your local CAB or council if you are unsure on what to do.' People were quick to comment, with one saying: 'Thank you for this I'll look into it.' Advertisement A second shared: 'This is really useful and helpful info.'

I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets – I don't get paid but I'm so happy

AFTER going through an intense break-up, one Brit quit her £43,000 corporate job for a less traditional path. Ayla Lannen swapped out her nine-to-five marketing job for the Italian countryside, becoming a full-time grape picker. Advertisement 4 Ayla Lannen left London for the Italian countryside, where she now works as a grape picker Credit: KennedyNews/@fromayla 4 Ayla left her marketing nine-to-five to pursue an 'unconventional' lifestyle in Italy Credit: KennedyNews/@fromayla And now the 27-year-old is urging other young people to follow in her foot steps. In a bid to break out of her "monotonous" routine and avoid "burn-out", Ayla sought out a slower pace of life in rural Italy. She was also spurred on by the end of her three-year relationship, which led her to re-evaluate her values. Unique benefits Last month, the former marketing engagement manager flew from London to the Italian countryside to take an unpaid job picking grapes at a winery every day. Advertisement Read More On Living Abroad And while she doesn't receive an income, there are other benefits to Ayla's set-up. All her meals and her accommodation are included as part of the deal. And she insists that she's getting paid more than enough in experience and core memories. Core memories Ayla added that she's learned more in her weeks working at the winery than in the years she spent climbing the corporate ladder. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Now a certified fruit-picker, she said she plans to eventually return to London but to work in hospitality so that she can maintain the "flexibility" to travel that her new lifestyle brings. "I learned a lot in my old job but I felt like something was lacking and missing from my life," said Ayla, who is originally from Sydney, Australia. I ditched my retail job in the UK for island paradise…rent is just £225, dinner costs £2 & our poolside office has a spa "I was spending four hours a day commuting into work. It was getting monotonous and repetitive." Anticipating an eventual "burn out", she asked herself: "Do I really want to keep grinding every day for my paycheck and not really have anything to show for it?" Advertisement "I had time to reevaluate the trajectory of where I wanted to be," she explained. So when Ayla stumbled upon a website advertising grape-picking near the neighbourhood of Tortona, Italy, it called to her. A week later, she had moved her life into the Italian countryside, where she spends her mornings and evenings working among the vineyards. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving.

"I really wanted to have that authentic experience of working in a winery," she said. Advertisement "I'm just in the fields picking grapes - it's awesome. The family is teaching us about what the whole process entails." She added that her love for wine is part of the reason why she chose this unique opportunity. Ayla added that the quiet countryside has also given her time to reflect. "There is no timeline and it's your life at the end of the day. Never live your life for someone else," she said. Advertisement "I definitely recommend it - it's an amazing experience. It's everything I've ever needed at this time in my life." And she pointed out that the "unconventional" lifestyle doesn't have to be forever. "I think it'll actually make me a better worker if I ever go back into corporate," Ayla said.
