30 November 2010 13:4682418My Winter Fuel Allowance landed in my bank account over night.
I wonder how many use the money to pay for Christmas presents, I do and so do some of my friends as we are on direct debit for fuel bills.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Yes Howard saw the item about the cold weather payments. That triggers in as you explain there but its only £25. It needs updating now as the cost of fuel has left it well behind.
The costs of gas and electricity have gone up this week on the international markets because of the demand, sure to be passed through to us lowly proletariat in due course.

30 November 2010 18:4582472I think I am safe with this one Paul as we direct debit payers pay more in the off peak months, I know lots do pay their quarterly bill with it.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
