Northampton people talk of the impact of the low pound, higher interest rates and rising inflation.
Hayley, a Northampton mother-of-two in her forties, works for a large company as a kitchen designer.
"Everything's going to cost more, we're going receive less money, and I don't know what the future is going to hold, really. A low pound means it will cost more to import commodities - including oil and gas - that are priced in dollars., Hayley says she's slightly worried but will be keeping her heating on.Looking ahead to Christmas, Hayley said she couldn't predict how different it will be this year.
He says: "It's down at the moment, but it could also come up again. I have got a holiday booked for Christmas, but I was lucky I got my euros way in advance when it was up."
