    Will the gap in my PRSI contributions adversely affect my state pension?

    I have my PRSI record printed and all the early contributions are class A. I worked in various part time settings (not in the public service) while I was in school and as a student.

    Will the gap in my PRSI contributions adversely affect my state pension?

    Yes I signed on jobseekers for 9 months and I was looking for work. At that point I inherited my mums apartment and began earning rental income from that. I did not need to look for work after that as it supplemented my occupational pension. I am not entitled sign on for credits as I'm no longer...

    Will the gap in my PRSI contributions adversely affect my state pension?

    Many thanks. Yes I was born in 1963. On Friday I rang and asked about signing on for credits and was told I need to be looking for work in order to do that. I'm not looking for work so I can't!

    Will the gap in my PRSI contributions adversely affect my state pension?

    Thank you so much. I rang DEASP and they would not handle an individual query. I also enquired from the voluntary contributions section about paying for additional contributions and they quoted me 1,200 euros just to pay for 12 missing stamps in 2019! This is because the rate is based on my...

    Will the gap in my PRSI contributions adversely affect my state pension?

    Hi, I’ve looked on this forum but can’t find the answer to my question. I am concerned about having enough PRSI contributions to get the full (or almost full) contributory state pension at 68. I’m 57 now and took cost neutral early retirement in January 2019 having worked since 1980. My current...

    Best way to cash small foreign cheques e.g. dollars?

    Hi, I tried to lodge a Canadian cheque with my bank (I have been doing this for years) and was told that they don't take them any more and to get the sender to transfer the money electronically. For personal reasons, I don't want the person to have to do that (it was a generous birthday gift...

    Smelly face cloths

    Get rid altogether! Facecloths and dishcloths are banned in my house. They harbour bacteria...which kinda defeats the purpose of washing anything using them!

    Synthetic carpets to outwit moths

    Thanks hastalavista, AFAIK, there is nothing that will nuke them! My other half wouldnt have laminate in the house, so that's not on. Lifting the old carpets and a thorough cleaning before having new ones laid a few days later might do it. The rooms are very big as bedrooms go (approx 17 foot...

    Synthetic carpets to outwit moths

    Hi Janet, and thanks. Earlier post was removed because I referred to the moths in a disparaging way, and in a way in which a moderator found offensive. :rolleyes: Thanks for your reply. I was not aware that they would eat synthetic fibres - I will look into that further. Our house is very old...

    Synthetic carpets to outwit moths

    Hi all, I have had a problem with carpet moths for several years and have come up with what I think is a strategy to get rid of them once and for all. I plan to remove all wool carpets in the bedrooms and replace them with synthetic versions that I am informed are not to the moths liking...

    Further update. Received refund. Took ages so they must have a backlog. But at least they did refund the money, so fair play.

    'Livingsocial' online discount site: refund - what chance?

    Thanks all, Dr Moriarty - I may try your route - (i.e., cancel the cc transaction) thanks. Newbie, I tried phoning but gave up after an eternity on hold. Elcato, they said it had to be used before the 6th June, but that they had no appointments available before then. I am tempted to phone...

    'Livingsocial' online discount site: refund - what chance?

    Hi, I bought a beauty voucher as a gift for someone from the 'Livingsocial' online discount site. The gift recipient phoned up to book an appointment and were told that the salon was fully booked until June 6th (which is when the voucher expires). I emailed livingsocialuk and asked for a...

    Wrong forum Sourcing garden ornaments / water features

    Hi everyone, I am looking for some nice garden ornaments (birdbath, waterfeature, statues etc.) that are not the usual plastic meerkat kind (apologies to meerkat lovers!). I have an old-fashioned garden at the back of a georgian house and I want a few tasteful pieces. Does anyone know...
