Progress not Perfection

I think I said a few days ago I'd been unable to register with the work pension portal and had been advised to give Cr@pita a call. I was dreading how long I'd be on hold for but was very pleasantly surprised that my call was answered pretty quickly. Anyway they've identified the issue and have re-set my account so I'm going to try again to register this afternoon. I just want to see how much I've got in my pension pot that's all, although it appears there might be an issue with actually viewing anything once you're in the portal so we shall see.

I've got a call with Pension Wise at the end of next month and want to get some advice on taking my state pension when it becomes due next year and dropping my hours at work until Cr@pita have sorted themselves out - I've heard that this may be next summer! I was thinking of retiring around end of May time so might have to extend by a few weeks although working fewer hours would ease the blow. I'm on a work group thread for people who are about to retire and could pose the question on there I suppose.

I wish I could have a sensible conversation with Mr SA. I was telling him all the above and he looked like he was listening only for him to respond by asking me if I'd seen his necklace 😞

I don't have anyone to discuss these things sensibly with either SA. The dog and cat look at me as though they are interested, but I suspect they're just interested in the treat budget. Although they may be less irritating than Mr SA as at least I don't expect them to understand!
