Thanks to my very kind sister who sent me the money, I ordered heating oil and it arrived this morning. There was a frost on Monday, so I need to keep the pipes in the loft from freezing, and the house is nice and cosy now. I feel so sorry for people who can't afford to heat their homes. And the Winter Fuel Payment of £500 still hasn't arrived. The Government letter said 'If it hasn't arrived by January, contact us'. January?? Silly fools. I bet they're all sitting around in their cosy mansions drinking champagne!
