    It sure is a worry, but at least those of here who are already practised in money saving ways have a good chance of riding the storm :)

    So, how are you feeling today Taxi ?

    Good to hear the cold is clearing up - keep up your vitamin C intake & plenty of rest lady :D

    Thanks for confirming the Tax Credits & ISA stuff - I will forge ahead next year then & my mattress can remain as it is.

    Horrific that having saved for the future, anyone who require financial help due to illness will lose their savings :mad:.

    It's so unjust, but I am glad that yours are safe :j

    There are still fireworks going off here; beautiful display I can see from the window - one of the advantges of living on the first floor, that & rarely getting snowed in :)

    my savings will be long gone by the time that rule comes in as I will have paid my mortgage off with them and then at least whatever happens we will never be homeless.

    Karma...it does boggle the mind but is very interesting especially when MPS were questioned about the national debt and didn't know the difference between deficit and debt total.They actually thought the deficit amount was the debt total...what hope have we when they don't understand it...lol

    :eek::eek::eek: thats dreadful!
