Last year mine arrived on the 27th Nov. This year it will be a bit more. £150 for me. Trouble is, there are so many charities in need of help and funds. Scotty's Little Soldiers, or one of the wildlife charities?

Well done. I think that's just the kind of thing it was originally meant for.
We pay for fuel by direct debit monthly, evened out over the year. Winter, summer, same monthly payment. But when I was a child at home, yes, they would buy extra coal in the autumn when it was a bit cheaper.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

I'm also putting extra into savings. It seems to be coming closer, the day when DH's leg can no longer be treated with antibiotics - repeated flare-ups of the infection which nearly killed him in 2008, every few weeks this year. He's been trying hard to avoid above-knee amputation, but....
Therefore, we shall definitely need to convert the bathroom to a wet-room and money will be needed.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

He will, until the headlines about pensioners dying from cold return, which was why the payment was introduced in the first placeEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
Am all for it, Farway, but cold is only one killer of OAP's. How do they work it out ? What about those dying from the heat, like those poor souls in Spain, wherever.0
