    evening all, had a lovely relaxing day hope everyone else did to ,

    ds3 came home from college to tell us about someone finding a ww2 bomb and putting it in his car and driving 22 miles to Bangor police station:eek: there was a lot of excitement and waiting in anticipation for the bomb disposal to do a controlled explosion, which was a totally disappointment:rotfl::rotfl:

  • All this talk of pensions made me finally go online and get my Pension forecast. I have an incomplete year for 1995!!!! I have no idea how as I had 2 jobs and was doing agency work during this time so I must have earned enough to pay tax, I my current retirement date is 2045 (weeps) I'm not sure if its worth chasing.
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
    Mortgage pay off date 11/2028. Target 12/2020 :rotfl:
