How big is your mattress Joy?

If you have savings you start to get the Savings Credit added to your pension, if you don't get this you need to ask for it.


Totally agree.


Not all I know but a LOT of younger people like to have the latest clothes, gadgets, go out with mates often etc, we didn't when were were their age, perhaps their views need 'updating' so they are aware of the real world choices they need to make to get what they want.


Having worked at a University for most of my working life I can tell you that a LOT of them didn't put the effort in, only doing the bare minimum to get a qualification, hopefully this has changed now that they are paying for their courses but I suspect many still think, and treat it, as an 'easy' ride.


When my elder twin brother & sister were born they 'lived' in the bottom drawer of a chest of drawers as there was no money for a cot, I was in a lined cardboard box for a while apparently!

Does a anyone really WORK at a University
BUSBY.

You were lucky. Could only dream of having a drawer between two of us. Was your brother and sisters en suite? Hessle Road? Very posh. And as for a cardboard box. We would have given our back teeth for a cardboard box.

Oi!. you leave us old Hessle Road Inhabitants alone!. Card board boxes where the cots for many a kid back when. (Cue "Capstick come home" and "Hovis" theme) Our mam moved to "posh" side of Tracks (Gipsyville)

As for the cardboard box ... I think it must have been used for fish previously as I love swimming so it must have rubbed off on me ... literally!
