    an OAD.

    Having said that, due to an inheritance we will be in a position to pay off our mortgage off and have some left over ......and if a fight with a pension scheme goes according to plan, then we will have another considerable sum of money coming to us so might not be an OAD after all.

    Having said that, no amount of money doesn't make up for the way we've come into the money, if you know what I mean .......

    I think GITT and MAD are good categories to add to the list.

    What do you think Mr Lewis?
    If saved £2710 and only spent the interest (Based on a return of 5%), you would have enough money to pay your TV Licence every year. Saving you £7452.50 over a period of 55 years, based on you buying a license from the age of 20 until your 75 at a cost of £135.50.
