Good morning AFK

I have myself most of a day off, so I am sat in bed with a coffee listening to the end of an audiobook

What is on your " to do" list today?

Morning Bexster

Well, first I had a sleep in - long one in a while, but now up and ready for todays tasks.

I need to phone about my work pension, 2 advisors commented, but both have said, they can't comment too much :eek: which to me, I'm thinking on the negative side :think: somethings not right.

After that, my mum has taken a leaf out of my book and is doing a declutter - just a small one, but its a start, so may go along and help.

Hope you have a good day.

Hello AFK!

So your first " to do " was a long lie in ✅

Hope you got some clarity on the pension. I'm afraid you know my view on all this. Frankly, the fact that none in my experience can give a straight answer to a straight question tells me all I need to know.

Good luck if you've gone to help your mum, I'm glad you are busy spreading the good word re: decluttering :T

Off to do a bit of w--- this evening. Only a few hours though.

:mad: :shocked: :wall: - Does that answer your question re pensions :mad:


w... drinking ? :think: :question:

bexster1975

Lol! W...drinking is not a word as far as I know!:rotfl:

I survived the w thing. Another few hours today, but an early bath this afternoon ( literally I hope, I have a bit of a pamper planned ).

I'm really not going to say anything further on pensions. I know there are many on these forums who are in love with them as an investment vehicle. For the "free" money. Frankly, nothing in life is free...:o


Hope you have another " to do" to tick off today ✅

Lovely morning here, so far, and feeling good. Maybe I can get the clutter out my shed which would be a good job done. Then either grass cut or shed/fence painted.

That's all in my mind for now, let's see if the body copes :rotfl:

Enjoy your pamper day.

bexster1975

Good luck AFK. I have some w... stuff to do first. Home mid afternoon for a bit if indulgence.

Hope the weather stays dry for the grass cutting.

Bexster

Grass cut - that's side, back and backside :rotfl: only front left. Kept threatening to rain, and started so cleared up tools. And that was enough !!!

Got my 4 Year anniversary badge today, so glad I started on this journey, really keeps you motivated, but no easy task.

Motivation now required for decluttering and sorting out hours of work, not to mention pension :rotfl:

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

:wave: Hello AFK - I have not read from the start so forgive any questions you have already addressed please.

I'm just ahead of you I think, having given up work in Feb and I think you have popped in on my diary - I am part way through decluttering but also buying more (:eek:). I have sent five of these (link) to the local thrift shop so far - about half-way through my clothes and shoes (just the low-slung fruit so far - no longer fits, bought for work and what was I thinking). It's just so dull, but I suppose I must keep going.

I might look for a Xmas job to top up my NI conts for this year as I was opted out of SERPS for most of my career and so topping up these last three years is worth £4.65 a week for each year in my SRP - Have you thought about your SRP yet?
