Received my 'you are getting £200 Winter Fuel Allowance' letter, today. Better than nothing.
Rain has stopped and I have de-leafed the car with a small leaf blower followed by a hose down.
Also squeezed some gym in, too.
What a morning!
And tomorrow is exciting too - let's hope we poor pensioners will be better off by the end of it!
Hope you are all having a good day, today!

Afternoon all . Spent the morning in the loft again and the car is full ready for another tip run at 3pm . ( I do love a tip with a booking system, no more queuing for 30 mins just to get in .) I recon two or probably three more trips will be enough to clear the stuff that needs to go from the loft. With another two trips needed for the rest of the house, that’s excluding the trips to the clothes bank. 😀
Anyway back to reason for all this house clearing , I’ve had a couple of quote's for the rewire come in day , the second was from the electrician thats mrs exlaser knows . The first one was £8000, the second one from the electrician we know was £3900 that a hell of a difference. I think you can guess which one we will choose 😀
The only thing is the first electrician could start on the 9th nov and the second one cannot start until the 23th nov but I can put up with a little discomfort for an extra two weeks to save 4 grand 😂.
The plan at the moment is to find somewhere to stay while they do the work .
