Black Monday

[Mrs H]

Cousin Matthew announces he's leaving Downton, Merlin is being axed and i get a letter saying I won't get a state pension until I'm 66 - 6 years after my sister who is only 6 years older than me

Someone tell me some good news

[madmike]

Well the good news is not your fantasy football team because even my bunch of losers over took them this week

So to be completely clear your sister will get her pension at 60 years of age and you at 66 so yours will be 12 years later despite a 6 year age gap?

Good news - you have a nice house in a lovely part of the world and have a family to be proud of perhaps!!!

[Mrs H]

Yes I noticed your team had gone ahead of mine - must be a fluke.

Yes she got her pension 3 years ago and I have to wait another 9 years.

Yes the house is nice but Lester is putting it on the market in January as for the family Neville has gone awol in the Abel Tasman National Park and apparently the girls won the SPOOK sibling drinking competition without him - so I suppose that's something to be proud of

Thanks for the try though

[madmike]

.... and apparently the girls won the SPOOK sibling drinking competition without him

In fairness in a drinking competition the girls are probably better off without Neville

I almost posted exactly the same !
