I'm 31 next month. My pension is with Standard Life and I set it up when I started working for the family business 5 years ago.

I think it is expensive to have it cleaned but it does get boxed aswell which can cost extra. It cost my mum £1200 so it needs toi be kept clean.

i still need to get mine cleaned too, got married oct 04 so 1 year 8 months late. it is very stained on hem from red rose petals and dirt from floor....some specialist places charge up to £150: regular dry cleaners may refuse to do it because of beading which would be damaged at high temps. so its still sitting in my wardrobv!

I'll back her up here - she really does need to, otherwise it'll get ruined very quickly; just think of all those bacteria living in the sweat! Mind you, £75 seems a lot; I had mine done at Johnsons for £35.

I had loads of silver thread and glittery bits on mine, and Johnson's didn't bat an eyelid - came back pristine.
