Do you know anybody who has been hit by this ""recession""? HOW?
It's terrible.
I received an extra £50 winter heating allowance on top of last year's
£200, and I get an extra £60 in January as an advance on my next pension
increase, due in April.
It's grim up North.
On the down side, savings interest has been slashed, and is due to be
reduced again today, so my savings income will be down, I should have
swapped more into that 1 year fixed rate ISA and made it for 2 or 3 years.
My house is down about £15-£20 grand in value since last year, but I'm
not selling...
It would suit me very nicely if Xmas was cancelled of course.
Xmas is optional, like Strictly Come Dancing. Ignore it and it goes away
(eventually).
