I’m just going to do what I normally do dame and that’s run it off the thermostat ….although I might turn it down a degree or two ….but like I say I’d rather live off bread and scrape than be cold , so….

No problem 
Baz, our council runs a scheme for over 70's...you get a pre-paid card here of £140, each council is different, please check yours
@Baz posted:Why would you buy that
no idea..mind the first one I bought didn't have an indoor loo and only had a scullery
@Baz posted:Look at all the damp
rising damp is easily sorted Baz

No, you can spend it on anything, it's not means tested. Leanne has just taken Lisa's Grandma to Asda with hers, loads have had it at work...I'm too young, or I should say not old enough
Just check to see if your council is running the scheme

I think you can claim more than once Baz ... It's called Household support fund, and it stops on the 30th Sept, if you claim tomorrow you have time for another claim when it ends at the end of Sept 
@Baz posted:I’ve just checked dame …our council is doing it , but I’m not eligible
anyone of state pension age is eligible
Leanne's just informed me I qualify, and I have known for months, I thought it was just our council

Yes, but our council requires a health professional or the like to propose you …..and I wouldn’t be able to get that …I’m not vulnerable enough …either physically , or financially ..

all ours ask is your NI number to qualify...do it online, you don't need that
