Worth checking the date on the alarm before you replace the battery. They have a limited lifetime.

[Scrumpy]

Dull .. wet..

Raining here too, and washing away all that snow.

I'm in the money. 

Not the £500 but at least I now have my £10 Christmas bonus.

Does anybody know if I'm allowed to spend it how I like?

Probably costs as must to administer as it's worth.

[Raven]

Wonder why it's never been increased, seems we must be grateful and Shut up. 

[Michael Rolls]

had it kept pace with inflation, it should, from memory, be around £178

First cuppa - rather later than usual
