ooooh, really?? i'm registered as keren29 on most of them, so hopefully someone hasn't hacked in as me!!!! (although if they win the jackpot and have to give it to me, that's fine by me)

It could easily have been karen29 to be honest. My eyesight is never good at the best of times...spent too much time [STRIKE]wan[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]wan[/STRIKE] watching tv in the past

Whomever it was they failed to win the full house in the game I saw them in...only because I won it. Yay, go me.

Does anyone know what to do if piggy points have not been rewarded after having waited the prescribed amount of time for them to be so? Is there a 'raise a ticket' thingy a la Quidco?

Thanks Maz, very much appreciated.

you'll need to be persistent though notanothergreyhair, they aren't the most speedy of piggies in sorting stuff out.

I've got the pension pack with my starter stuff. I don't know whether to join. I don't have a pension and the 2 times I've joined one before (the first time with the same employer in 1995!) I've had the money refunded to me as I've been in the scheme less than 2 years.

At 37, I should be in it. However, with it being a part time post and possibly only until I decide to move on again, I'm not sure. Saying that though, when I started at my last job in 1999 it was part time so I didn't bother. I ended up staying there 8 years and went full time after a year!

There is a form that made me smile. Lump Sum Death Grant Nomination Form.

Nine lines of names and addresses I can add for those I want to benefit from my death by way of loads of money from the pension scheme if I join and then die.

9 lines.......come on folks, form an orderly queue with reasons on a postcard and bribes in a carrier bag

I've just sent Toto an idea of a money making idea........she might have to lamp a member of Girl's Aloud but hey.........;)

As a recent joinee to the Local Government Pension Scheme....I would say go for it. Its still a final salary scheme, between 5 & 6% of your salary, but they put about the same in (changes each year according to each council)...and if you're there less than 12m you can get your money back.

Can I send a lilac binbag of used fivers for my bribe.....reason is because I won't have enough pension to buy a loaf of bread a year when I retire, and I have just found out I won't get my state pension (or what will be left of it :rolleyes: ) until I'm 66 :eek:

You are in slot number 1 Floss

Aaaw, thanks Keren :j

Burlesque_Babe

It was the lilac bin bag which swung it

Please could I have a slot? I would put the money to good use by starting a rescue centre for neglected and abandoned jaffa cakes. I feel I may be just the person to give them a stable and loving home.
