£3.99 / 2 for £4 watch out for £2.50 ones.

I just had a quick nosey on A.com and they are coming up at £2.50 not £3.99, should i steer clear?

That's the trouble with getting older, having to be a responsible adult at all times - so few opportunities for not acting your age.

Things like wearing too much make up and inappropriate clothing tend to back fire :rotfl:

I think the most naughtiness I manage is eating chocolate for breakfast but that's a by product of fridge tidying so even that is not really that naughty

I didn't realise this :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

As long as they scan at £3.99 and get 2 for £4 it should be ok worked since it went off.

Lol I'm enjoying all this. I was born in 1956 . I don't know much about it all tbh.

On direct.gov you can out in your DOB and it tells you the date you will get state pension.
Ladies used to get it when they turned 60 but depending on when in the 50s you were born some are now having to wait until they are 66 :mad:
So that's £115 per week times 52 x 6 years - pension they won't be getting :eek:

It also depends on how much national insurance you paid over how many years - you can get a statement from hQ in Newcastle

Not sure how it affects winter fuel payments or bus passes etc

I've resigned myself to never getting one as they will probably be abolished long before I get to state pension age
Deep sigh

The days of using generic product barcodes on ST may be a thing of the past.

I snapped a 4-pint A milk bottle which unlocked the offer and I submitted a Sains receipt. It went to review and it's been rejected because they were unable to find Asda milk on the receipt

I am not far behind you age wise.

I never lie about my age wish 60 was still the retiring age not 66

A bit ahead of you both age-wise and fuming about the State Pension Age.

In 1995 they told me it would be 62 and a bit - so would've been later this year, then in 2012 they told me 66 so another 55 months to go as of now.

When you've been a single economic unit for a long time, it isn't easy to save on one income and things like the recession really hit hard as well so no chance of doing anything much from 2012 onwards to help offset the extra waiting time.

Plus you get tired more quickly at 60-plus, so days off are recovery time not quality time.

I reckon at even £100/week that this has cost women my age over 20k each. Yet we help out with g/kids so our adult children can work effectively, thus the adult children are saving the country millions in benefits and also contributing extra in taxes.

Rant over.
