Cold weather

[bigmamma]

Just checked my bank account and see that it was indeed freezing here this week . I've got a �25 cold weather payment . :-)

[mrs_overall]

Woohoo!
Mines a double please. xx

[bigmamma]

With pleasure sweetie , what will it be ? x

[zzxxee]

dont spend it all at once

A cup of tea would be my first choice mamma. Since I drank a full bottle of port at 4am on New years day I've (strangely) gone right off booze!

Given fuel prices, I guess your �25 will heat your home for a good hour at least lol

[zzxxee]

you could buy some ovaltine and an electric blanket keep you warm for a while

It is indeed cold. My bank account is frozen. But I think that has more to do with the lack of funds in it than any cold weather payment!!!!!

My pond has about 2 inches of ice on it though. I would skate on it, but would look silly as it's only 3 feet wide.

how can I check if I'm eligible for a CWP - certainly chilly enough down here for one
