Modern times

The car insurance renewal notice came in yesterday, announcing a hike of 10%.  Today’s post brought the boiler maintenance renewal, up 20%, and the water bill, no less than 64% up on the last one.  Given the paltry statutory revisions of our pensions, nephews, nieces and a few charities had better start revising their expectations.

Still, today’s good news is that the Macmillan coffee morning brought in £188 and 1€ (which I bought for £1).  Our lovely village Post Office happily took the cash to pay into our joint account at the teetering TSB, and the cheque and gift aid form are ready to go in the post in the morning.  There are some generous people around, eh?
