What did you think of the budget? Are there any measures relevant to your life?

The budget was not brilliant, but there are some nice things in there for our children such as more money for breakfast clubs, I like the idea that people who claims carers allowance are allowed to earn more, up to 16hrs a week protected. I like that their is support for disabled people via health and employment services. I am also pleased that the Household support fund is being given 1bn more to help people who are struggling with the cost of living costs. I understand people will be upset that there was nothing in the budget regarding the 2 child limit but this may be looked at again in the future. For my family I see this as a positive budget. I like that the government is supporting the NHS as well.
