Rumbled. I'm actually a heavily-tattoed, bald, 30 stone Glaswegian....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Don't forget to post the figures back into the thread once you have them. If they're dragging their feet then you should chase them a bit - in the computer age, it should just literally be a couple of key presses to produce the pension forecast.
I was chatting to a mate and suggested he arranged a stakeholder with Scottish Widows (via Cavendish to get the lower management charge). He is in the same situation as you and I - i.e. fluctuating income. I don't like to recommend products on the internet, but the SW stakeholder seems to have a decent range of funds (for a stakeholder), low charges and is a well regarded company.Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)

*continues to hijack thread*
To be honest, I have them round here somewhere, just need to dig out the last annual one they sent me. And to phone them for another would need me to get that same one to get their phone number. I should do it today.Dithering_Dad wrote: »Don't forget to post the figures back into the thread once you have them.
LOL/Fluctuating. I've gone from "hurrah/loaded/never had so much" to "OMG, below poverty level" in just the last 2-3 months! That was never part of the plan! Now half-4rsedly looking for some daycare (aka a job).Dithering_Dad wrote: »...He is in the same situation as you and I - i.e. fluctuating income.0 -

If you're struggling then perhaps you should make sure you are getting back from the system some of what you have put in (www.entitledto.co.uk).Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)
