The sale of our gold reserves at a low price didn't help either.

Do you want a tissue they are value pack but as long as you don't blow to hard they are ok

[Dark Knight]

I cant afford tissues, I have to use old clothes

[oldbluefox]

Bless his little cotton socks. I didn't know he cared. Pass me a tissue.

[Jan Rosser]

I'm not complaining - I count my blessings that (a) I joined the Local Government Pension Scheme (b) I was born early enough to claim my Old Age Pension at 60 and (c) that my dear husband provided for me after he passed away. No sorry no complaints from me except for the silly amount of tax I pay Don't waste your tears on me DK

Now look these value tissues have to last the month so you will have to share

I just cant help feeling sorry for the impoverished pensioners on here who can only afford 2 or 3 holidays a year and don't worry about the heating bills
it makes me sad

That's only half the story, you should see our food and wine bills ... now, they would bring tears to your eyes.

Moby
I long since realised you are very much in the upper echelon of the pensioners and I salute your years of toil and graft which allows you some comforts in your dotage

but spare a thought for those on here who only get 1 holiday a year in an inside cabin and can only shop at waitrose and M&S . I weep for them, I really do

Too true Moby, I wish Tesco would stop sending me their 'special offer wine' online ...how can I refuse when they give me an extra 15% off and free delivery

It is indeed a terrible dilema, why, we were quite frugal til t'internet came along and enabled us to spend our money without even getting out of the chair ...

[Dark Knight]

the internet is a boon for oldies and it keeps them indoors, which is tickety boo for us youngsters
stops em getting under our feet with their zimmer frames and those bloody silly tartan shopping trolley things

[haveabeer]

It's great I can do online banking and see when my pension goes in

[Manoverboard]

With you on the tartan shopping trolley front ... deffo ... whoever invented those things should be shot

Have you ever tried getting a couple of cases of wine in one of those things

[Dark Knight]

anything that keeps oldies indoors and not under my feet , as I keep them in the lap of luxury, is fine by me
the way technology is going, one day they will never have to leave the house...........hopefully

Brill that and especially so when you get an increase of 50P ... goes towards the Deluxe tissues does that, albeit a small pack.

[Dark Knight]

now you learn something everyday
I thought pensioners just had a password to the bank of England and pretty much helped themselves and sod the cost?

you live and learn
