    Packing at moment ( well trying as having to work most of day) got boxes all over & hope to move (get keys 2nd May) . Trouble is it all makes me feel so disorganised...I hate it!!

    On the pension front it might be worth speaking to a pension advisor (not about your BR ) but about the long term implications of higher annual pension rather than lump sum (some larger Banks offer free advice). After all I would not think that the OR can force you to take lump sum at the detriment of your long term future...especially if you need that income to live on.

    I think you are doing real well if you are working as well. It is awful living in such a mess though the thing I hated most was the fact I spent all day packing and then one of my kids or hubby would say they needed something I had already packed, try remembering which box you put it in. My daughter was the worst I will never figure out why she needed all her wardrobe for two days before we moved:confused: Dont worry it will all come together in the end and before you know it you will be in and settled. Good idea about the pension I will try the banks, thanks

    I live on a similar estate, facing a lake, all detached houses, and you know what I used to be one of them. I unloaded my car with 10 bags of LIDL shopping today and a massive grin on my face knowing they would be gossiping about me. I even whistled while i was doing it to make sure they seen me:rotfl:

    Keep your chin up, things WILL get better

    Your neighbours will gossip about you because you have shopped at Lidl, 'shop snobbery' LOL?! are they really that pathetic? Lidl's a great shop! they sell some of the best chocolate ive tasted :cool2:
