Call You and Yours: We're out of recession, but how does it feel for you?

With Julian Worricker. According to official figures we are no longer in recession. Are you feeling more confident about the future? What pressures are your household facing?

Last week we had some good news. The double-dip recession was officially declared over by the Office for National Statistics. David Cameron said that the good news will keep on coming.

However critics say living standards are falling and Living Wage research by KPMG has revealed that nearly 5million workers in the UK are not earning enough to maintain a decent standard of living.

On Call You & Yours, we're trying to assess the state of the economy via your experiences. What are the pressures facing your household? Are you feeling more confident about the future? Will you be spending more money or are the recent hikes in energy costs making you think twice? Whether you're a householder or a business, let us know how it feels for you.
