    That kind of 'mum' guilt - even if it is towards a dog - is immense. Hope your dog recovers quickly.

    Well done on clearing the CC. Trip to Morocco sounds fun. 

    Hope your pension chat goes well.

    I was going to suggest the pensions board too.  There are some really knowledgeable people there and hopefully there's no judgement just info and signposting.  Also Pensionwise gave us some helpful info - it's a Gov service so they can give you impartial info.  It's better to know what's what than worry about the unknown.
