A late good morning all.  
It was beautiful and sunny earlier,  but its all clouded over now.

I've got all the dogs bedding in the wash,  now I am going to do the boring hoovering etc.  I have never enjoyed domestic tasks,  always been happier outside.
My daughter-in-law is the opposite and cleans everything she's already cleaned.   Even took cleaning stuff away on holiday with them to clean everything in the accommodation before she touched it.
Mind you,  she works in a hospital operating theatre,  so has to make sure everything is sterile I expect.

Be good . . . .   :smiley:

As probably 90% of pensioners will surely vote Reform anyway we are an easy target.

Bus pass maybe although in truth that costs nothing because if pensioners didn't use the buses (and with no free pass it would surely be less) then the subsidy would have to go up to replace what they get for the pass or the cut in services would lose votes.

I think it was Brown that robbed pensions by removing some tax concessions but they could doubtless find something else. Maybe they'd "look after" employer contributions.

They could reduce the amount that can go in the pot tax free or stop the tax free amount that can be taken out.

They may have little idea on useful policies to make things better but are very ingenious when it comes to new taxes.

She changed the bank accounts into her name
Booked a nice holiday , somewhere in Spain
So when he'd gone out she packed her bags
Clothes and money, and 40 fags
She decided to play him at his own game

I have an alarm button I wear around my neck, but I have never needed to use it.
A neighbour who had the same, used to take hers off at night, until one night she
fell out of bed on the wrong side and injured herself, but couldn't get to the alarm.
Luckily, her DiL called to see her the next morning and found her on her bedroom floor.
