Second Weekend in April!

[XTreme]

Weather's decent enough here.....at last!

However......I've got a shitload of work to do to grab as much dosh in as fast as possible because of my boy getting here in 9 days!

And we've still got to get loads of shit for them from the shops.

Hopefully I'll be able to get out for an hour Sunday! I hope!

What about you lot?

[Tym]

Im shopping for seat covers for the 325e. 

[Clive]

Same old.....same old.

[Catteeclan]

Off to Manchester again. They're dropping like flys on Mandis side.

Absolutely......it's a disgrace that the people lower than you on the social scale are making a couple of quid.

Meanwhile, while you lot focus on them this is what's really going on......

And they're both US residents paying no tax here!

We will have to cut down somewhere.......scoot fine at the moment, taxed, insured and has a MOT till September, so if I don't use it it not a drain on finances.

Car we need with my wife being semi disabled, pay the VED monthly same with the insurance, only use it when necessary, shopping or our once weekly trip to the inlaws....

But where can we cut back? That's million dollar question.

Scottish Power want us to set up a DD for £150 per month ,  our past monthly bills were about £70 in winter, and only about £35 to £45 in the warmer months..

I suppose there are many in a worse situation than us.

I think they were hoping Covid would do that........just where do they think the average pensioner is going to find this extra money from for gas, electric, food, petrol and council tax rises.....wife is still crunching the numbers.

You know, I think back to 2005 when we got out, and realise that we really dodged the bullet.

Don't get me wrong.......we've never regretted leaving. But looking at the position we'd now be in if we hadn't, it makes us think how lucky we were to get away.

Cos now, nobody but the ultra rich are going to get away.

Become a viking, rape pillage and steal for a living.

Has i have (I think ) said before,  my father in law told me about 1980 to buy a ticket to somewhere/anywhere out of this country........ I should have heeded his advice.

Glad the scoots safe for the moment. How much does insurance tax and MOT for it cost? I’m guessing it’s not overpowered so is in the lower tax band?

When you take into account that the bastards in charge of us can claim £5,480 in expenses for utility bills for their own homes and have no clue about what freezing is like it’s hard not to be savage we’re literally paying their bills as well as their wages.
When peoples reservoirs and credit lines have completely dried up if they don’t respond it’s going to get nasty.
 

Hope your wife can squeeze some money from somewhere

It’s definitely not good @Clive, we certainly got stitched up with our pension wives losing 6 years of original payments, bastard government wankers are all rolling in money while we struggle .

VED for the scoot is £47 per year....insurance £70.....MOT £29.........not so much of a problem.

It seems like we will have to alter our shopping habits a bit, usually do all out shopping at Asda,

Farmfoods are near to us and many things (lower quality?) are cheaper there, save some money there..

No more using the tumble dryer and central heating only be put on as a last resort.....heat or eat, we will eat.

My wife does not get full pension, but seem unable to find out why......she did have some time off work when she had our 2 kids, but not off work for long, and never been out of work.

My attendance allowance made up for her shortfall, and if had not been for that one eyed Scotchman (Gordon Brown) my pit pension would have been alot more than I get now.
