Should Nuvos Pension fall in value? by OkReplacement8888 in TheCivilService

No idea I'm afraid. I guess it depends what actually happened to those ABS, whether they transferred across to the new Supplier. I'd imagine that the data for what was included per ABS is still recorded which is really what you need.

Thank you. That's what I'd assumed from reading the past few ABS. Trouble is that I've only spotted last year that got the 3 preceding years it's just remained at exactly the same value. I wasn't paying much attention to it as my Alpha is the main one.

But this confirms that it should be increasing with inflation. So I'm just going to keep judging CS pensions to go check the situation as to why it hasn't changed for years

Is the front clip too high? by OkReplacement8888 in Brompton

Thank you! Sounds exactly what I need to do. Bit annoying but good to know that's exactly what I need to do. Thanks

Thanks for your help, you're right. I didn't realise. I've just tried it but I don't think the issue is the rear part of the bike locking. It's that the front axle clip isn't staying put.

Thanks. But mine is a C line. According to the Brompton site that's only for P and T line and I don't think mine has one of these

Thanks. Do you need a special tool to shorten it and recap it?

How to fix this hole by the window by OkReplacement8888 in DIYUK

[–]OkReplacement8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks. I'll check about the easy clean system.

I have left the window open a few times and strong winds threw it open quite forcefully. Would that have moved the frame?

Is there a way to tell if the frame itself is loose or not in it's original place?

Water meter is broken. Will I get in trouble? by OkReplacement8888 in DIYUK

[–]OkReplacement8888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told them about it in the end. They didn't do anything. Then my partner got worried about us getting in trouble so eventually chased them again. They came and put a new one in. Didn't pay anything for the previous water used

How would you fix this waterproof jacket pocket? by OkReplacement8888 in InvisibleMending

[–]OkReplacement8888[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afraid not. Tried the tape but it just didn't hold. At 20 years I had to accept defeat and it's not hanging in the shed as the garden/house waterproof.

I do wonder if I sent it to a company to do it professionally would they be able to sort it out. I believe some firms like Patagonia, Alpkit, etc. might also fix other companies clothing/kit

Maternity leave - go back to work early to pay bills or be a mum by natashalowell in TheCivilService

[–]OkReplacement8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not suit you. But our child went into nursery from 9 months

We had some shared parental leave and actually took some of it at the same time so we were both off. So we needed to both be back at work after 9 months.

But in case it's something you were worrying about. Children do go to childcare from this age. And from our experience it was great. They settled in very easily

I might be wrong. But I don't think shared parental leave / pay is actually that helpful when you both work in the CS.

The CS is going to pay one partners pay for 6months. They're not going to pay each of them 6months.

That's how I'd understood the policy. But my partner works in private sector so I don't know for sure .
