Yes @EssexHebridean because it isn't that long since we were the complete reverse and despairing about how we got there. The moral being pay into your pension, especially if you can time travel and pay into a final salary scheme.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.

Big shiny birthday present for me last week, and big birthday present for him this week together with car tax and 2 x ten driving lessons mean that I will probably have to Take Some Cash Out of Savings. Deeply traumatised by this concept and wish I had resisted when mr redo positively insisted that for once I would have a proper present.It is (very) shiny, but so are the savings.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.
