[jennyjoan]

Just wanted to let you know I received mine last night - £500

[Zacs-Master]

Lovely.

[goodgoalie]

Good for you - I keep checking :)

Good, remember jj, please don’t be stingy with your heating. Being cold is miserable .

[jennyjoan]

Ah Ah Ah Anne - talking to the wrong girl there - my heating is on pretty morning to night - I have been told they can't breathe with the heat LOL. Sometimes along with it I put on my wonderful fire which exudes magnificent heat Nah I am too cold-rife these years.

I will never resort to picking off icicles inside my windows ever again which I did in my last home LOL

[bednobs]

that's a lot for WFA isn't it?
but great :)

[goodgoalie]

It's not for working from home - it's the usual £200 winter fuel allowance for OAPs, plus an extra £300 to help with the increase in energy costs.

[bednobs]

i know its not working form home ... WFA = winter fuel allwance?

[goodgoalie]

Sorry, misread!

[pastafreak]

I've not gotten mine yet...waiting patiently!
While I don't like being cold, I'd not be able to live in a hot house. I grew up in one. My dad would set the thermostat all the way up...we'd all turn it down.

[anneasquith]

Id hate to think of any elderly or vulnerable people living in cold conditions this winter.
Use your heating please.

anne - I can't believe many oul folk I know are not putting their heating on and believe you me they have mega bucks in the bank.

But they were tight (mean) all their lives.

I don't go a visiting in the winter months cos I can't stand their fridges/homes LOL.

Your post prompted me to check my account JennyJoan, yes - mine is in there too :-)

[david small]

Soon be time to get the BIG candle out. I may even light it.

[jennyjoan]

ah great Ferlew - well I did pay £815 for my oil - that calculates

815 - 500 = 315 -200 (oil payment) =115 and sure that is made up when the £400 goes to the Energy Man. Oil had paid for itself - Yee Haw x
