happy, he's happy.

Having worked in retail I loved small change - saves a trip to the
bank to change up notes etc. Places that are still open after the
bank has closed especially love it (My local pub adores small change
after 5 at night because it worries about running out) The thing I
used to hate was a £50 note especially if it was for something small
it strips change out of the till and can't be used to make change
(unless someone uses a £100 travellers cheque and they're worse)

I know the economies over the world are in a mess but I have
to wonder if
governments, employers and businesses are using it as an
excuse to treat
the people badly and get more money. I know I'm a cynical,
untrusting,
paranoid lady but.....?

(Who apparently has a guilt edged pension to come, News to
me. Shafted
more like)

Why would you feel guilty about getting a pension you've
contributed to for many years?

Ah, sorry - you mean "gilt-edged"! I misread what you wrote!

I don't know what Judith's pension will be, but mine is
259/month after 21 years. It does not pay my utility bills and
council tax. Gilt edged pensions?
I wish.
I have no other income than that atm.

State Benefits? Surely you're entitled to *something*? You must
have had many "clients" who were claimants, and know a little bit
about "the system"?

I do know everything about the system. One of my problems is that many
moons ago I bought a bit of land for my goats and it was very difficult to
buy it at that time, as I
had a mortgage on my house. I would have to sell it and it would not gain
me anything much as it is landlocked
Having that land puts me out of any help, but hey.

I was wondering about your bit of land, is it possible to rent it out to
make a bit of income?
