My state pension is to go up by �6.50 per week on April 6th. I am now making plans on how to spend this life changing amount ;o)!! �650,000 per year for life (RBS Chairman)! So what, I am rich.

[redcrx]

�6.50 a week? wow, thats a fish and chip supper on Cromer pier!

[bigmamma]

That's 2 fish and chips where I live ...lol

A new magazine aweek, maybe something you have looked at previously and said to yourself...'no, I can't afford it'?
A bar of galaxy now and then, (lovely chocolate btw).?
A more expensive hand cream.
Go on girl.............treat yourself.
:-)

[LoftyLottie2]

Ah yes, Red, but just think of the petrol to get there!!

[LoftyLottie2]

Nice suggestions Daniela. But I mustn't let this new found wealth go to my head. I must invest wisely - perhaps an appointment with a financial adviser!

[dot.hawkes]

that's �338.00 a year, you could just about get your car tax and MOt out of that, every little helps. Cannot imagine having to make it work though. It's frightening.

[LoftyLottie2]

Car tax this week �66
MOT and Service next week �200ish
and I need a new tyre.

Mmmmmm

[Foo.King]

get a tyre off Craft apparently she has plenty.

[Rosetta]

Ah, but Lottie you didn't nearly bring the country to its knees.

[squillakid]

Well you could always add a little extra to buy one of these to help the poor folk which should justify your new found ''wealth''

Good Morning Foo.King - explain.....

[LoftyLottie2]

Good idea squillakid. I actually do give to quite a few charities, not one in particular, but mainly for children and animals and always local charities. However, I will consider it.

I actually don't mind not being wealthy, but I would like a pension that would keep me housed, warm and well fed. If I was on my own I couldn't do this without relying on benefits.

[squillakid]

Well lofty it certainly is a hard knock life! Lets just hope those lottery numbers come up this weekend!

[craft1948]

Hi Lottie - like you I was excitedly planning how to spend my new found riches then the man from the NSPCC rang asking me to increase my monthly contributions - being a BIG (as Foo.King implies) softie the humongous pay rise has now gone...

[LoftyLottie2]

Seeing as I don't do the the lottery.........................

[LoftyLottie2]

Well I'm off to the nurseries now to buy some plants for my garden. One indulgence I don't intend to ever give up!!

[Foo.King]
