My Google news is warning that this increase will take many of us into the tax 'area' and that we should set money aside for that.

"Any pensioner with a pension next year over £242 per week will have tax to pay, and if they do not have a private pension through which the tax can be collected, they may need to set some money aside for an unwelcome tax demand."

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Not for those on the old pension it won't. I can't understand why people born before 1951 are on a lesser pension than those born after 1951. Do the older ones need less money to live on? I don't think so. It's a bloody disgrace.

Do you ever get failures when making bread ??
A regular 'problem' I have is the the loaf seems to rise less at one end ie it is slightly wedge shaped. All edible but not evenly shaped. I think it may be the machine.
I read t'other day to try a drop more water so I did that this morning. I will report back.

The winter fuel allowance is not taxable.

However, if you are talking about the increase in state pension, due April, then, yes, agreed, many pensioners will breach the personal allowance. Increased interest rates on savings will add to the “problem”.

The winter fuel payment is not taxable. The proposed increase instate pension may well take some in to taxation depending on other pensions such as company pension

There is no news yet on whether the beloved Chancellor is going to raise the tax threshold next year.
But, as it's possible there will be an election in 2024 who knows 😁

Yeah I get failures when I don't add the yeast :rolleyes: or if the flour is getting old you only get the latter if you buy the flour in large amounts.
adding less water will/may give you a dry loaf.

I used to have a morphy Richards bread maker and that was very hit and miss in fact most times I used it the bread was a disaster.

But I now have a Panasonic bread maker and touch wood so far I have never had a bad loaf of bread.
