When I came home from shopping the other day I found a brown envelope on my doormat.
I found it was from the pension service to inform me that I will receive 25 pence extra a week on my pension as I was 80 years old this month.
I retired 20 years ago after 31 years working as a home help.
What can anyone do with 25 pence a week?
