    Hi Cumbria,
    Great news about the bank payout! It sounded like it took some effort to apply for it.
    Aiming to early retire in April 2025 - DC pension currently £350k

    Oh my I am so tired. This week has been full on , the weekend is about relaxing and catching up. Had the grandchildren today as I do every Friday, they are awesome .

    Windfall money is getting split as thus £200 to CC2 £100 to EF and £110 for a night away with my friend as she was the person who told me to claim.

    The lovely man in my life is doing my head in!
