I’ve been checking my bank balance this morning and I’ve just received my £10 Christmas bonus. Do we need this?
I think I’ll put mine in the food bank.
(No I’m not wealthy, have no savings, and live on my state pension and tiny private pension. I still have a mortgage to pay too.)

Mine doesn’t go in with my pension, it appears as a separate payment on my bank statement, blink and you would miss it but if like me you check every line, it is there.

Mine didn’t arrive until 19 December last year so I don’t expect it just yet.

I didn't know we got 10£. I thought they stopped that a while ago. I will ha e to check my account.

I got one too! Had to check what it was... I am not that hard up that I need £10 but someone else might be so I wish they would ask before they gave me this 'gift' times that by say est. 1 million they could save at least 10 million for something else!

I received the £10 too but being as this is my first Xmas as a pensioner I hadn’t realised that’s what it was for ….!
Thanks for clearing that up!
Happy Xmas all! 🧑‍🎄
