    It's always a good Monday when you discover an old DB index linked pension you thought was dead is actually still alive and ready to pay you money come 60. :D

    That is a good Monday. I think it's a good day if I find a quid down the back of the sofa!!

    Was it Goldiegirl (MFW poster, sometimes appears on here) whose husband discovered a 6 figure pension that he had forgotten about? Seriously, it's almost as bad as those people getting £20k cheques for PPI they didn't realise they had :rotfl:

    Six figures! Well my new discovery is only £5k from 60. A pittance in comparison. :rotfl:
    But still a nice addition to my savings, DC pot and company share save pot.
