Something for new mums to consider:

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/family/2016/11/new-mothers-lose-278m-in-state-pension-payments-due-to-child-benefit-changes?_ga=1.249320071.1498709637.1476469818

I was trying to figure out the system before we went away regarding state pensions, for women its a total nightmare. I am still annoyed that I wont get the full state pension despite being told I had enough years

It also seems that the NI contributions you get alongside family allowance, not sure what it is called now you only get for 22 years so if you have children in your late teens and then divorce and start another family in your 30s so there is a big age gap between the 2 sets there will be years when you are getting family allowance but not the NI bit - or at least that is how I figured it out

If i remember i will ask mum as she had children '66,67,69 and 70 then again had another in 85, but i will add not through divorce, but she did always work part time dont know if this makes a difference?

Is your mum one of these ladies born in the early 1950s who have been severely affected by the state pension changes?

I wish:eek: I think the original picture I put up by mistake was a Mr Ted one of my birthday balloons and cake in centre parcs spa room. This is the style I am hoping to mould my new house into though.
Looking for a huge round rug if anyone see one. Needs to be plain and big.

Today I have been sorting out my kitchen cupboards as now new one is in I have a bit more room. I now have a dedicated tassimo shelf:)

It is rather lovely... no wonder you are inspired by this. x

God that is a huge difference in years... I was born in 1969, and had my first child in 1989....

Had email from PayPal saying account has been limited and to click a link. It's addressed to my full name. How do I know if it's a scam please ? Tia x

Hi cjj, I ignore the email and go directly to PayPal. If they want you there will be a message there. I've had several of these emails, I just click the corner to say unread then delete xx

thanks for this

I am just trying to figure out a possible waitrose list

Sunday newspaper £2 ????
coffee £2.25 ???
how many u&Gs £1 x ?

Have to have a look at the waitrose app to see if anything interesting is on mypicks

DH shop this morning

4 x U&G
indian meal deal various on PYO that are also in the deal i.e, korma, gobi saag, rogan josh
hovis spelt (Free on shopmium)
paper
coffee
£4.43 paid

probably could have got another couple of U&G but didn't want it to look too obvious as its only a small W - but happy with a shop under £4 with the cash back from shopmium
