Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Still IF I didn't pay my taxes some people wouldn't get a pension :) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Lucky so-and-so's. We get nothing for another seven or eight years. Even though the missus has turned 60, she won't get anything, apart from free prescriptions, from the state until she's 67, including pension, bus pass, or winter fuel allowance. And I'm paying bloody income tax on my pension! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 We need folk like you and your missus Rob, to keep this country going! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Most of us pay income tax on our pension. You not on your own! I begrudge it as I've already been taxed on my earnings! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 As the total of my three pensions is under the tax threshold I pay no income tax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,284 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Welcome to the club Catfan. As Mick says - you will soon wander how you had the time to go to work. As for having a lay in, well that will soon pass. With your busy retirement days to fulfil you will soon be getting up at 6.30 again. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 It seems that I'm the only one who has a lie-in everyday. My wife and I go to bed when we want and get up when we want. I can't see the point of getting up so early but everyone lives their lives as they want to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just said to the good lady wife wouldn't be nice if that nice? Mr Osborne upped the Christmas bonus to £50 for us "hard up" pensioners. After all it's been £10 since it started eons ago. When it was launched by Ted Heath's Tory government in 1972, the bonus payment was worth £98 in today's money. So really Mr Osborne ort to be giving us pensioners £100 ..........FAT CHANCE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yeah but my Missus has a business to run, so we get up at 5-30am and go to bed around 9-30 every night. As she does a six day week and there's still loads of work to get done on Sunday, I'm in the habit of getting up early. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 We had a catflap but had new composite doors fitted. No chance with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
