  • Thanks Helen.

    Don't be jealous. We spent last year trying and failing to move!

    Ooh, thats very early in the day to be looking at pensions! No wonder you feel bad about it!

    My advice: prioritise what you want to do. Do you need to get tidy and clean for the pix by the agent? Or do you need to get some diy jobs done? Remember you can put lots of stuff in the car for the day of the pic-taking itself ...

    I thought you had a teacher's pension SHS?

    Well done on weight loss, losing it that way means you won't just put it all on again as fast as you lost it. I found preparing for agents pics really stressful too but at least you can hide some things away. You will be going on at a good time so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

    We are all set for staying but think we had a drive buy which encouraged me to clean bathroom and hoover and dust upstairs!

    Pension planning is grim.
