A tearful pensioner with just £1.69 in her bank account was set to have 'eggs and toast' for Christmas dinner. The 89-year-old woman confessed her plight to a plumber who went to fix a leaky tap, reports Hull Live.
The community plumber, James Anderson, was left heartbroken after hearing the woman's tragic tale upon visiting her Blackburn home. He asked her how she would manage at Christmas in her current predicament.
The pensioner revealed that she had just £1.69 to last her three weeks and had no special food in for a Christmas dinner. She only had a small number of Christmas cards and three gifts from friends.
