Yeah, but check if she is SE or Sport first or she may end up going round in circles.

I did offer mate, even bought alcohol, a bowie knife and a rubber mallet for anesthetizing. Kitchin table would be big enough and my mate with a 3D printer reckons he can knock up a hip once we remove the old one.

Mother didn't seem keen though, for some reason. Bit selfish imo.

Do one of those Turkey jobs instead, go on a holiday, get her sorted for £2k and pocket the rest?

Started thinking about Pension when passed age of 60 Now nearly 62.

2 small ones with standard life and virgin, stopped paying to those many many years ago when
pot was losing more than i was paying in.

An opt out SERPS ? thingy with Nowich union, not sure what happened to that.

New works statutary one.

and state.

Monthly pay equate's to nothing.

Do not think i have to worry any more as started yesterday round one of Chemotherapy for Advanced stage 4.
The 1st of 4 rounds booked. Have been fast tracked as was only fully diagnosed on the 4th of December.
NHS's Cancer care have been amazing

So yeah ! Not worried about pension now

NB: Tongue, neck and head.

N4LLY,

FFS bud, hopefully the speed of action will help

a good friend of mine unfortunately found themselves in a similar situation and stage in May and is hopefully getting their final review today after successful treatment.

All the best bud, Andy

That figure is misleading. It won't include assets tide into pension schemes that are active and at 67 years old most people will be drawing from their pensions. Many people that age, will have 100s of 1000s tucked in company and civil service type final salary pensions. They can never draw on that as an asset, so it doesn't show up in that £37k figure.

N4LLY, good luck.

N4LLY. Oh s**t, that is horrible news. Good luck mate, thinking of you!

PS: your Norwich Union SERPS pension should be with Aviva now (mine is). If you want to/ can be arsed give them a call, it will still be there!

N4LLY, You should be able to register online with your policy number and get a real time valuation.

Lithuania apparently is the place to go for private treatment

N4LLY Horrible news, stay strong and beat the thing. Does put life and all our minor woes into perspective
