Got a letter through the post from targetprofessional.co.uk saying "we are professional trackers down of forgotten pensions and we have something for you, so phone us up and give us personal details". Sounded well rum, so I'm not phoning them. It did have an air of legitimacy about it, it mentioned a policy number and a scheme name. I couldn't find the scheme name on gov.uk (where you should be able to track down pensions) but I found a similar sort of name and though could it relate to when I worked at the university in Portsmouth? So, I got in touch with them directly to say "is this company legit?" and they have said yes, quite legit. But now we don't need them any more, and I can talk to the pension scheme directly. So sounds like there are some funds coming my way! But it can't be much. I only worked at the uni for about two years. Can two years of pension contributions from twenty-five years ago be worth very much? I don't think so. But it's got to be omre than zero hasn't it?
Another busy day at work, and a busy day of cat feeding and cat medicine giving. Clare has been doing the medicine, then we have to wait an hour, then I go and do the food. So we're there four times a day at the moment. This morning had the added extra of me not being able to get there and back around meetings, so I had to go there before work, and stay round there all morning. The owner of the cat is sunning himself in the Isle of Wight.
We could have a holiday. We will have to make do for now with a day out in London this weekend, then maybe a day in Brighton next week. Still working on that.
A clear sky and a fresh breeze, 5 - 13℃.
