I now get this pension as it is at a higher rate than the amount of pension I am entitled to.

However, the top box, all in, should read £39.19 per week, an extra £18.39 leaving just £13.61 or £33.61 left over from either pension.Sounds like our council tax is quite a bit lower.

Our council tax alone would be almost £30 per week with the 25% reduction, so if you can get council tax, oil, electricity and logs for £18.80 per week we might have to move to Norfolk instead of East Yorkshire!Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-37572003288442080892016-11-14T12:24:55.781+00:002016-11-14T12:24:55.781+00:00It is about trying to get the balance rightI think...It is about trying to get the balance rightI think, somewhere inbetween managing and enjoyment.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-14183008272943104802016-11-14T12:23:43.994+00:002016-11-14T12:23:43.994+00:00I often read you especially when Freddie is mentio...I often read you especially when Freddie is mentioned, I just love your posts on him.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-38344430979031415812016-11-14T12:18:13.857+00:002016-11-14T12:18:13.857+00:00Thanks for popping by my little bit of the interne...Thanks for popping by my little bit of the internet! Rest assured Freddie does have his own shampoo but it was just an emergency x <br /><br />I've written down our outgoings and they are too high but I'm working on it!

We have roughly the same outgoings as yourself but have National Trust/Green Flag breakdown/Pet Plan cat ins/very basic Sky subscription plus 2 small mobile phone contracts. These could all be got rid of. The Sky won't be renewed from April and I'm going back to a basic pay as you go phone when my contract is up. My downfall is food spending. I need to cut this. I need to use up. I need to basically mend my frugal ways!! I have a small NHS pension but have a feeling that by the time I'm 67 they will somehow work this into my state pension allowance no doubt.
