Ooh Mr Daff never thought of lottery tickets. Hmm. Nah! Wine might win.

SSIL - U to ! :o) ((can't get emoticons to play, sri, must be my browser LOL))

Mr Daff.What a good idea for the lottery tickets..
Nice to see you.

Or 10 x Lottery tickets.....may get a couple of 'tenners' for that ! Then, might get nuffin !!!!
Wine, then, you may have nuffin at the end, but at least you'll have enjoyed getting there ;o) x

The £10 Christmas Bonus was one of Tony Blair's little wheezes to bribe the OAPs (as thgey were known in those days).
Total waste of effort:
It must cost millions to send out on top of the cash itself.
It would be better just to add it to the annual pension or even combine it with the Winter Fuel Allowance.
Still, I suppose the administration keeps a thousand or so Civil Servants occupied for a few weeks.

lolol Ann, let me know if you have a spare one ;-)

*perks up....oh, Ann, can you get one for a tenner?? :-D

be cheaper to get her an 85 year old man!!!!

Mine will goes towards an ereader for 85 year old MIL who has said she would like something to keep her occupied :-D

You could all put it towards your next GR subscription! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Think I'll treat Hubby and I to a £6.49 for 2 meals deal at Wetherspoons, and a couple of half pints. We know how to live in Norfolk!

Ooh no Susan, I might get one of Jon's suggestions. I think it might go on a bottle of bubbly to drink with the family at Christmas. Or a good bottle of white wine for the same reason.
Yes, must remember the food bank when we go next.

£12 in Tescos at the moment

you could get something from the supermarket and give it to the food bank


Just a thought Ann.....take all the suggestions and write them down on scraps of paper.....put them in a hat and choose.....with your eyes closed of course :-D

No girls, the Baileys is for special occasions ;-) <3 A nice crisp white wine with a peachy bouquet will do me fine for now.... :-D

Can you actually get a bottle of Baileys for £10?

BC Thought you might buy a bottle of Baileys. :-D :-D :-D

Oooh I just looked at my account and I got £10 as well! *rushes out to buy nice bottle of wine.... :-D <3

Sounds good Sue.

Just put my £10 towards a new dresing gown from M & S.on sale today 20% off the price plus Free delivery.

And I will have it for Friday..

Saw the £10 on my statement this morning and had no idea why? so thanks for that
mores the pity my small occupation pension is taxable so doesn't make up for that :-(

Now what to spend it on???

AnnG :-D :-D :-D

Many years ago I had £1,000 floating around spare. So I wanged it in a pension with Equitable Life. They were then absorbed into Prudential.

I get my annual pension on 1 Dec each year for the £1k annuity. Try not to spend, spend, spend. Probably just chip a bit off mortgage.

Last year I got £8.22. This year Prudential inform me it has reduced to £8.17p.a. (after tax of £2). :-D :-D :-D
