I THOROUGHLY agree with John Stone's letter regarding the difficulty we pensioners have in trying to make ends meet, but there are certain steps we can take to make our money go further.
For instance, l have discovered that by lying in bed until gone noon, l only need two meals a day instead of three. This enables me to lose weight without exercising while cutting down on my food bills.
Also as it is warmer in bed, l have reduced my heating costs.
Now that we are being threatened with living to 100, I can envisage thousands of pensioners adopting this regime in order to survive!
