Fortnightly? Jesus.. and £987 pounds a year isn't bad, well I don't know seeing as how your not in work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT; It isn't bad, I get a pension of £7000 a year, & it's plenty for me to live on, & I have no mortgage to find, I don't eat much, you don't, as you get older, I've got plenty to keep me in good clothes, buy new furniture, & pay a gardener & window cleaner, each month I'm in the black, yesterday I filled up with petrol, £54, so I'm happy, the people who suffer are the women who stay single to look afer their elderly mothers, & stop going out to work when they do, the maximum pension they can get is about £90 a week, I know two who work in Morrisons, they are both nearly 70, and still working, I retired 16 years ago, they don't get extras on their pensions as I do, I worked for 48 years & I get extra bits & pieces added, amounting to about £80 a year, it doesn't seem like much but it all helps, plus I get £200 fuel allowance at Christmas, yes, all in all life isn't bad, I just wish I had my wife here to share it with me.
