Winter Fuel Payment

[Caran]

Receive do letter today saying it will be paid into my account in the next three weeks.
Checked my account and it's already there!
Good result!

Exactly Robot, unless I spent £300 in one go I would have no idea what it was spent on.

Ok, OK, I concede.

It just really irritates me when people say they have spent it on non-necessities.

You could just make a one-off payment to your fuel company & reduce your DD for the next 12 months?

I prefer to think of the WFP as a savings pot that I've been paying into at £16 a month for the last year - as part of my DD to OVO - and now it's mine to spend as I wish.

Mrs B and I get £100 each, goes a long way to covering Xmas drinks bill, utilities are paid by DD.

How is Mrs B, Baldric? Is she home yet? I must have missed your updates.

[Baldric]

Hi Cashier, came home on the 10th, still a bit delicate and wobbly, but getting there slowly, thanks

Ours has gone into the bank already. My Husband has had his letter, but I haven't had mine yet. Having a lot of essentials to pay for, so it will help with that.
