DM do you remember this wine, look at the average price of it now. :eek: I looked back and not sure where I got the info from but I had only priced it around £12, think it was the one I got 7 bottles of.

The last time I actually paid any NI is 25 years ago. :eek:

I worked a couple of part time jobs playschool/toddler group when the girls were young which were not enough for any contributions but I was getting HRP as I was getting child benefit then.

I will get onto it and find out my details tomorrow, probably all covered in dust and cobwebs now. :rotfl:

20 years of my entitlement are from when I was receiving child benefit. I have only ever had one job which I had for 14 years until I left when I had children and I haven't worked since although of course I always kept meaning to return to work:rotfl: You don't need to know many details to request a statement just your NI number, name, DOB, address. Just the basic information really & it takes about 2/3 weeks to arrive.

I have no idea whether you can purchase a year guess I should look into it. I need to get one of those statements as have only worked out qualifying years myself, they might have other ideas of how much I am short. :eek:

I could do washing and bit of cleaning but any more ironing than I already do, not sure how my hands would hold out because of the osteoarthritis.

How about signing up to some mystery shopping sites. There are quiet a few threads on mse about them. Then you can pick and choose what times you work.

Found my old post DM, the regular cuvee the one we got has now overtaken the "Lieu-Dit" in average price. :beer:

Yes I got a bit confused as there is a "Lieu-Dit" version of exactly same wine, same vintage, I found for £25 bottle, but mine is not that one, mine is regular cuvee. The Lieu-dit is equivalent to a reserve type it says....

I know 7 :eek: 4 in one box and 3 in the other, was bit disappointed at first to get so many the same. I see I might have to ration it though at 15% a bottle.

And why has TM endorsed that image with her initials.

Have you drunk it yet? Could be an investment. :money:

It is within easy reach for Mr TS as the bottles are a bit fatter than others and for some reason I could only get it on the middle shelf, think 2 are gone already. :eek: I usually put the most expensive near the bottom so they don't get grabbed for cooking etc.

If thats the one I got one of in the last wine box, then yes, drank with friends, and it was rather nice

Good thought but I don't think that is the sort of job for me, I already got chucked off Ts home panels and I have enough trying to remember to do my Orchard stuff. I would be terrible at remember to do write ups etc. Think I need something a bit more structured/disciplined.

Would have been back in August, shame I don't like red wine isn't it with a corker like that.

I don't think Mr TS really appreciates some of the wines I have managed to get for him. :rotfl:
