Yes, got sent a letter from the Government, no less, all two pages of it. Details of how I can dispute the offer I am being given. The offer is - wait for it - 25p a week. Now I have a problem what shall I do with it? Invest or save.

Mum has received her 25p for 11 years now. So if she had saved it, she would now have the princely sum of £143! grin

Good thinking 25Avalon.

lovetopaint if you were pregnant you would be worth far more than 25p, advertising fees, paid interviews, celebrity status.
The world would indeed be your lobster.

Blimey it cost them more than that in postage.
Don`t spend it all at once and have a lovely 80th lovetopaint037.

Good thinking. What have I missed? Guinness Book of records! All that cash to splash.
