Solidarity with the Brownsons

With tears in my eyes I scrolled down through Adam's and Megan's heart-wrenching story that appeared in the Daily Telegraph today..

The feeling is all too familiar to me - just like Brownsons struggle to send their beautiful daughters to a private school AND keep the real estate they worked so hard for, so do I often find myself only capable of buying another bottle of 5-year malt scotch instead of bread and milk for which my change just won't cover.

I am thoroughly worried about becoming “financially broken” as the sheer cost of booze and tobacco in London means I am stretched to the brink. I have not been able to buy food for months now, but if this is going to continue, means that my beloved bottle of ale is going to stay a dream too.
I am currently heavily reliant upon my salary, meaning a redundancy or illness could leave me sober or a bit peckish.

My dilemma is how to fund the cost of the Blue Drum without sacrificing my lifestyle.
If you support the Brownsons, please do not turn away...
