    gosh... the very thought of it scares the pants off me! poor kid! i'm sure i was about 10 or so... and i thought that was early...

    i'm glad we've had the tampax conversation at least.... or ladies plasters as they are known in our house! lol!!!

    i suppose i better go into a bit more detail with her so she's prepared a bit...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Hmmmm interesting.......

    I have just done an online pension forcast for OH and the forcast shows that we might actually not have to live on egg and chips in our dotage years.

    I am applying for a forecast for myself too everyone should know what their forcasted state pension is you know:D

    Oh and with the changes OH wont get his state pension till he is 66 but for me I have to wait until I am 67:eek:

    Of course the forecast is only what he would get if things stay the same in government.............which they wont:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    How do you do that then? I think I got a letter from pension people about something similar but didn't pay much attention cos it seems like years away and I'm convinced I'll never be able to retire anyway :rotfl:

    Tis a bit quiet! I've been playing with the Food Focus site that tells you how many calories you've eaten - slightly shocked! :o

    So far I've washed the bedding (going in the dryer in a min) and am in the process of washing up and tidying the kitchen.

    I amaze myself sometimes at how domesticated I can be when there's nothing else to do.

    On Pensions, about a year ago I found that an old work pension fund was standing at £25K whenI thought that itwould just be about £7K. It was in a UK Property Fund....dont dare check its value now but I am hoping that the Fund Managers will be clever enough to buy while its cheap and when I want it in 17 years (:eek:..is that all!!!!)......suddenly ran out of words..
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
