Tradesmen cost a huge amount for me, as I live in an old house, which seems to have something go wrong with it on a regular basis.

In some cases, I feel the tradesman are justified in their charges, especially now, with fuel costs so high.

But for me, it often means things are left  not working for a long time.

However, in many cases the local council home help comes to the rescue.

Health costs are high on the list.
