  • Thank you - we are lucky enough at the moment to not really need it. I’m 67 and still working (albeit part time) and she has a few years before retirement, but if either of us had to give up it would really hurt. Considering I have state pension, and ones from 20 years at BT and 17 in the Army, you’d think we’d be OK. We should be. That was how it was supposed to work.

    I will follow your advice though and see what gives - we’re currently downsizing at the moment as we will not be able to afford the rent here in a couple of years.
