A v S from this afternoon.

As I was going to the shop, the Fanta multibuy was definitely not showing on MSM, but was on Sada.com so I thought I'd go for it. Unfortunately, by the time I got back half an hour later, it was showing.

The trigger for the Radox shower gels was the Batiste (thanks Evangeline).

Actual amount spent was £10.10.

Why £5.00?

I've been PM'd to post the pension contributions stuff from yesterday, again. Here goes.

1. Get the serious state pension statement here though you need to enrol first https://secure.thepensionservice.gov.uk/statepensionforecast/default.aspx
You'll need to enrol with the Govt Gateway to get a proper ID.
2. A quicker way to find out how many years pension contributions you have is to phone up and ask (you'll need your NI number). 0845 60 55 999
They will also tell you if you have missing years available to buy back. Get in before the end of the tax year is my advice. We bought 2 years for my wife recently and they'll cash your cheque in 4-5 days so there's plenty of time if you act now.
Voluntary contributions and topping up:

3. Apply online for a statement of your National Insurance account:

Pensions Q&A

What are the key changes?
From April 2017 [TODAY THEY ANNOUNCED THIS WILL NOW BE EARLY 2016] there will be one single pension set at £144 a week in today’s money, rising to £155-£160 in four years’ time. This new ‘single-tier’ pension will replace the basic state pension, currently £107 per week, and various “top-ups” or additional state pensions. However, it will be tougher to claim the full state pension under the new rules.

A maximum of 35 years of national insurance contributions, up from the current 30, will be needed. Anyone with less than 10 years’ contributions, such as immigrants, will not receive a pension. The savings credit element of the pension credit will be abolished along with “contracting out”, which will mean bigger tax bills for millions of private and public sector workers.

How is this better than the current pension system?
Simplicity and fairness. The current combination of basic and earnings-related additional pension systems is confusing; many people have no idea of what they will get from the state when they retire. The new single-tier pension will be set just above the current pension credit level, which means less means-testing to top up benefits. Low-earners and women who have taken time off work to care for family are the main beneficiaries.

Will everyone get the full state pension of £144?
No, £144 per week is the maximum. To receive the full weekly rate an individual will need a full 35 years of national insurance contributions or credits, with a proportionate pension paid to those with shorter contribution records. Those with less than 10 years receive nothing.

I am already receiving the state pension. Will I benefit?
No. Only those reaching state pension age after the reform is introduced in April 2017 will be entitled to the new single tier payment. There are currently 11.5m people claiming the state pension.

I was expecting to get more than £150 per week from the state pension. What will happen to the benefits I have built up?
The government says that state pension rights accrued under the old system will be recognised, so nobody will lose out on any pension they have earned.

I am due to reach state pension age before April 2017. Can I delay until after 2017?
No. Anyone reaching the state pension age before April 6 2017 will automatically receive a pension under the old rules.

I am “contracted out” of the state second pension. What will happen to me?
Those paying into a workplace pension instead of the state pot have paid less NICs than those who are not contracted out. But, after April 2017, many will be brought back into the state system and will pay full NICs. This will mean an effective tax rise of 1.4 per cent, or £250 a year, for workers earning £25,000, or £500 a year for those on £40,040. Some will benefit from special arrangements for moving back into state system.

Thanks for this but on calling the 0845 60 55 999 I eventually got through after being redirected a couple of times to use this number
0845 3000 168 and I should receive in 6-10 days
