Eye test, dentist and renew bus pass, what a day I have to look forward to!

[boxtops]

[DTCwordfan]

Now if they did free bacon rolls for you, you'd be living in Nirvana.

[BlueToffee]

Sadly box, our one bus a day left 30 minutes ago, and here's me, still in my pj's

[DTCwordfan]

Don't think Sweettown is ready for the sight of Blue Toffee standing there in his birthday suit, just slippers on his feet, Maidup......also it's a wee bit chilly and damp.

Glad you made it through the night though.........

[B00]

think yourself lucky you don't have to pay anymore for all of the above :-)

[boxtops]

Go get a prescription while you're out... :-)

[weecalf]

Pensioners I know do pay for .dentist ,eye care And Rates .Just cause you get to be a certain dont mean you are took by the hand .The day we took off our coats to do a days work was the worst move of our lives.

[boxtops]

we still pay income tax too, it's not a free ride by any means!

[masma]

Don't you have to pay for the dentist? We do.

[owdhamer]

Free colostomy bags.

[boxtops]

I know it's not funny, owd, but LOL :-)

[emmie]

you won't necessarily enjoy it, it often comes with increased ill health, children flown the nest, loneliness, losing one's faculties you have taken for granted. So it's not all good news i'm afraid

[emmie]

indeed as some have said pensioners do pay for their prescriptions, i believe it's based on income and pensions are taxed.

[owdhamer]

Spot on em10

[ethandron]

Over 60s get free prescriptions, it's not means tested.
