MY OH qualifies for the first time  for the 60+ payment , but not received it yet ..

Last night we slept with the window open wide , ive been finding it far to warm in the night , and waking with a headache ,,this morning i was fine ,,  we have not put the heating on continuous yet dont find it cold enough ,,,

Frank said our bills are to soar next year, we've had them on a fixed rate so I'm dreading it. Last winter was so cold one old boy said to me don't get old I just can't get warm. Well he's too late to tell me that and I noticed in the summer he looked quite sprightly, except on the very humid days, It was difficult to see his face last year he was so wrapped up.I can't move as much as I'd like and its then you feel the cold as well as feeling tired most of the day. If we all had the money to move we wouldn't mind the cold, its money thats the problem, not the cold.

Hopefully Dave, You will be able to save again. It's not so much this next Bill coming in, but what will happen after next April 6th. Guess everthing will be going Upwards

Thats so true Cath after all if we didn't keep warm we'd die sooner saving them a packet. They have it all worked out.

A 'Meter Reader' Don't trust that idea today. We read our own and send in, when required.  =  Minimises the er?? Human element and the 'commody of errors' as previously experianced.   Are 'we' stupid    Don't answer that.

It would be interesting to see if they could turn things around, although I guess you still get the pompous twits even at our age.

A Pensioners Party to run this country ?? -- This has been mentioned before, I believe last year when a member was trying to get ALL those 'parties' to work as one. Why does everything have to be Political ?? Yes, there will be people with all different idea's so why not call it a "Coalition Party"    Think of all that Business experiance there is, just going to waste.
