We are sat outside, purely for some fresh air. It blinking freezing. I am wearing tracky bottoms, a fleece and I have a blanket around my shoulders. Less than a week ago it was too hot to sit out.

Too hot, too cold.

Good news.
Just realised its pension day on Wednesday. That means this is a double payment month.
Only someone as idiotic as our Civil Service can set up payments every 4 weeks instead of once a month. Payment dates are different every month, but once a year it's good news.

Yes, I always wondered why there was no calendar monthly option for State Pension payment.

My guess was, to save wrangling over 53 week years?

The two payments in one month is a nice little surprise, I suppose.

As I posted a few days ago this country just cannot get the balance right. We need a new government.

 

[BoldonLad]

Mrs Tenkay and I have a joint account and all the household expenses are paid from that.
We also both have our individual accounts with a monthly standing order to the joint account.
We're both happy with that arrangement and it means we can make individual purchases without the need to consult each other.

That is exactly how we (Mrs @BoldonLad and myself) operate. Works perfectly for us.

 

[Dave7]

Oh sh*t..... I have just thrown up

 

[BoldonLad]

I think you have that forbidden word in there (w*rk)
