My sister has chosen Emotional Reprogramming as her course of treatment

Her life & her decision

I'm so low I could slide under a snake

going off on a tangent here but something has just reminder me - distraction technique.

I think a few of us managed to figure out the Hargreaves Lansdowns sip thingy (or virgin money) before the start of the new tax year.

I've just logged on and the government top up of £700 went on yesterday 22/05 and 7p in interest seems to be going on each month - you have to look at the tab that says recent transaction over the next 90 days

So what happens now?

I know there is a method of doing a partial withdrawal - but I am not doing this just yet until I understand things better. And no gob snacking bills due now for a while.

If we add another £2800 in early April 2018 will another £700 magically be added on? I suppose it depends on what happens after the election and how far along we get with The Leaving Party ...

you poor love, this sounds like one of those dreadful euphemisms - is it possible she might change her minds again?

SNAP you know in your heart that it has to be your sister's decision, whichever way she decides. I know that, although gutted that you think she is not giving herself every chance, you will be beside her every step of the way :A

It is entirely up to you what you do now, you can leave it sat in the sipp or you can move it to drawdown.
Personally, I recently called up HL, as I wanted to take out the 25% tax free sum (£900), plus £1000 that I could take tax free within my personal allowance. They have to send you an illustration and a drawdown application. Then the sipp moves over to a drawdown account. I get my 25% tax free amount and the £1000 I have asked for, the remainder sits in the drawdown account until I request more.
I then intend to use the £1900 that they send me, add £980 to it and send it back to them as my £2880 contribution for this years sipp...a new sipp account will then be opened. I will then wait for the £720 free from the tax man, and do exactly the same again.
If you have any questions at all I would say call them as they are really helpful.

That's the hard part to explain. You bite into them like a large tomato, but the taste is very sweet. They have to be ripe to eat as I've had terrible taste from unripe ones. Soft to touch is best. I always eat them whole, just taking bites out of them, but can be cut into fruit salad etc
