Anyone else not received confirmation they will be getting the winter fuel allowance yet? I thought I would have heard by now.

I got my notification a couple of weeks ago.
Maybe you just don't look old enough to get it?

Off to brave a wander. Recent reading at the nearest local weather station is now saying minus 6.

Good morning all, another frosty start to the day here and not due to get above 3⁰C.
There are a lot of leaves that have fallen in the garden, so one of today's jobs is to rake them up. The ones near the bottom of the garden I pile up as a refuge for any animal looking for some cover over the winter.
Dog walking across the field, and as it is a nice morning we might head to a cafe for tea and a sausage sandwich.

Ps. My winter fuel payment is in the bank. Although I will have to pay it back through the tax system next year.
Im treating it as an interest free loan for the purpose.

Bit nippy in the truck. I've had to put the Central Heating on!

Good morning from a sunny chilly Dorset. " Feels like -4 " according to the weather app. Off to Wimborne later to stock up on stuff from " Spill the Beans. Turkish sultanas, pitted dates and unsulphured Apricots on the list and top up the Laundry / washing up liquid / shampoo containers. Might finish with a visit to Eight Arch brewery 🍺
