Well what load of cobblers… now got to wait another week to get keys to new place😨BUT only because they are fitting a new kitchen and maybe flooring 💥⚡️🌟🌟yippee ..

Skintannies streching the pennies blog….

Hellooo there…

 

So I’ve reached the grand old age of 60, and a few years back I was looking forward to retiring, having a pension, and maybe affording a wee car and having a lie in on a morning and no more 9 to 5 working in a job I did not enjoy…not much to ask but hey ho the government moved the goal posts so I have to work till I’m 66 😡😳😤😖 and my health won’t get me there.

So fast forward and my life’s a total mess, I have Bad health and cannot work..and after working 40 plus years paying tax and national insurance I am deemed on the scrap heap and to live on a very very reduced income till  I hit 66 and can get my state pension.

I have got to figure out how to live on a reduced income and survive, I can’t put a happy face on this, I’m panicking as my fridge freezer is giving up the ghost I think, I need not want new glasses, and don’t look forward to the future if I’m honest.

 

im going to have to budget like never before, and make every penny count and all the other money saving things I have read about over the years never thinking I have to really really put them in to practice, but thankfully I have some ideas of where to start…stop spending….get a budget put together and sort out my electric and gas suppliers and be bloody realistic.

I am going to hide under the duvet tonight and face the world tommorow with clarity and reality and sort out this life I’ve got to live for a while…so tommorow another day as they say …
