Week 8 – April 20th 2020 – Week 5 of lockdown
People that know me, know that often I don’t follow the process or the rules, this is one of them. I had a meeting with the Government free Pensions wise service. You should really have it before you deal with a financial advisor.
I would recommend having the call and in my case it just backed up everything I had found out. From memory that are 6 ways you can handle your pension pots.
All I can recommend is, the earlier you start saving the better your future will be. 🙂

Week 6 – April 6th 2020 – Week 3 of lockdown
So Claire started working from home, this location wasn’t to last long lol, soon it was the dining room – again we didn’t know what would happen later in the year or what I could actually do
.
Thankfully the English weather was actually being kind to us in lockdown, so could have breakfast and relax outside and for you American friends, yes it’s a Dolphin top, actually purchased in 1997 and can still wear it!!
Patio needs a bit of tidy up, relaying some of the slabs concrete, were see if we can get someone in to do that?

Week 5 – March 30th 2020 – Week 2 of lockdown
2nd April, was a day that was going to start a change in my life. Due to our friend Covid19, I had a Zoom meeting with a financial adviser Nikki Rowell (Foster Denovo – has given me permission to use) Please note this was a free meeting.
I had a simple question, could I retire?
After an hour meeting, Nikki initial reaction was YES.
From the information that I provided, he would produce a document for me to review and take it from there.
If you need a finanical advisor and I would fully recommend it, I can introduce you to Nikki, the same as me, your first meeting would be free and you decide if you want to work with Nikki or not.
Nikki does know, as this was very hard for me to do, trust someone with my future and finance. Just as I was looking into Nikki and his company (trust me I did, I even rang the FCA as I wasn’t happy with something I read on the FCA website about Foster Denovo, but they explained it – all good, even though I don’t watch much television, I kept seeing an advert for pension scamming and the scammer on a jet ski bike and two elderly people broke.
This was worrying Claire too.

Thank you to Annemarie Plas for coming up with the clap for NHS and front line staff in this fight against the COVID19 virus. Good to see (though not well in the video) and hear people clapping locally and across the country.

Week 3 – March 16th 2020
The England cricket team were sent home from Sri Lanka and I couldn’t see when International cricket would be played again. My 2020 decade project was completed, I thought I have to keep my mind active, so I decided to work on 2000 test project.
A common theme is starting to appear, as I wasn’t expecting all the errors I was finding on cricinfo for each test match!!
