I didn't see the point of getting mine until herself was due so this year we both got one, although she was eligible last year we never got around to it. I married a younger woman !
The other week we both went to Chelsea - On - Sea (Salcombe) on the bus which did seem a little strange, but a great view from the top deck.
Rather luckily she was born just prior to the old pension rules being applicable and so was I & it makes quite a difference to the State Pension portion of our pensions.
