Today's task was Cut the Grass. Well its done.
Beginning with fixing the caravan cupboard door. The trim had started coming off. Just needed sticking back, but it had to be the door next to the Microwave which was partially covered so necessitating me taking the whole door off. any way glued, but it curves so had to "bend" it around. Some tape stuck along would hold it in place. then grass cutting. Finally disaster a gust of wind took the poly tunnel door and broke it. Granted the wood is ageing but so I spent an extra 45mins fixing it. Now sat with a glass of wine and poacher cheese.
So the Government have heeded my advice and moving in the right direction and announced measures to ensure one's pension pots move with you when you move jobs.
As I have said before its a scandal that if you move jobs (frequently - and who has a job for life these days) each company pension you have is worthless if you've oly got a few years in it. Less that 2 and you can cash in but then you end up with no pension hence the Pension Crisis we're in now. If you add up all the years then if you were in one scheme it should be quite good. So if the Government puts its foot down and MAKES the Bankers (Pension funds) play fair then transferring should not be penalised (so much), In the long run the Government benefits as we all get fairly decent private pensions, we all want to join a scheme and thus don't need to depend on handouts.
