That's government for you. Stealing from pensioners. Thieves and scoundrels. It makes my blood boil.
But you seem to have fallen on your feet which is fantastic and even better your husband has befriended the cat. I'm sure the two of you will make quite the impression when you take the dog and cat out for walks.
Thieves and scoundrels indeed. Government does seem to be picking over our bones 😀 We did fall on our feet and are ready for the next whatever to come down. As long as there is money left for cat kibble :))
