You should be able to benefit from the ability to carry over unused pension allowance from the past three years provided you've made *some* contributions in each of these years, :) G.

Is this the only time it's wrong to say you look too young to retire, LipGloss? 😉

Update from the insurers. I'm expecting confirmation possibly as early as today that they will be replacing my non-retirement present to myself. Same spec. Same colour. They have been told that the truck will be available December /January. I did check what year, given I waited 15 months for the last one to be delivered.

Fingers crossed.
