Hmm, the problem with dealing promptly with a letter from the National Insurance people ("It appears you have not paid enough NI contributions for the tax year 2007/08 to count towards your pension. Would you like to make an additional payment?") is that you can send them a cheque, and have it cashed before they update a record and realise I didn't have any shortfall after all. Still, they're usually helpful about repayments.

Am feeling kinda wobbly and exhausted this morning, hope it's only stress and not flu :-)

Ooh, pretty shiny earrings and necklaces and beads are further reduced (they're lovely, and just reading the list of names is like skipping through a book of fairy pirate stories)... Has small thoughts about tax refunds and cost of necklace that makes me happy to look at it and timing

Did you know that you only need to pay 30 years in to get a full pension now, so its not always worth while topping up your contribution record.

That's quite recent, yes? Anyhow, I'm 39 and only have 8-10 years of contributions so far. Pesky studenthood and sparse work history!

The CA has a 1 in 3 error rate so you should always check before paying. You may or may not be aware that contributions can be credited during some non working periods or by virtue of a husband or former husband's contribution record.
