    Morning, hope everyone is well.

    I have nothing to say about last night (well, other than I have wonderful friends xxx), weather is lovely here today, might even go out for a run later, but only a short one, as am really not in the mood.

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Does anyone know if it costs much more to post something to Dublin?
    Someone is asking about a dress I am selling on eBay.

    How much does it weigh Bunny?

    Link is here - you would need to choose 'Overseas', then 'Ireland (Republic)'.

    Small packet weighing 500g would be £3.54 for example.

    Just a small bit of info. If you have a broken work record, as money women do if theyhave had kids etc, your State Pension may be affected.
    If you go to www.direct.gov.uk , go to Pensions and select 'pension forecast' you will then be invited to get your 'Government Gateway' User ID.
    Register, and they will send you a User ID online and by post.
    A few days later you will get your 'Activation Code' in the post ( a bit like PIN Number) and this will allow you to make specific enquiries using your own Tax records etc via the Pensions Service and get a Pension Forecast.

    For e.g. Mrs P is 2 years short of a Full Pension Record. To bringit uo to date would cost over £1000....but it would only make £6 a week difference to th Pension. Hardly worth it I think.

    Its a bit of a faff, but useful.
