Turning 66 & Starting State Pension...

PerfectChristmas · 2021-09-29 10:41:21

Hello all, hope you are well. As of Friday my mum reaches state pension age. I think I've managed to sort everything for her as her carer but I'm not 100 percent sure if my information is correct or if there's anything else I need to do.

Sorry don't know about any financial help etc but I am thinking that an investment in a slow cooker might be useful for you . uses very little power.
I have one from Currys which was £12.99 & Asda has one @£12. Mine will cook 3 good portions of chicken casserole (as an example) I think it would be more efficient than the toaster oven. Just a thought. Food is very tender & tasty.

Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
