Good Morning

Thank you for contacting the International Pension Centre.

I have checked your records and can confirm a life certificate was received from you in March 2025. I can only apologise that when it was processed it did not register on your account correctly.

I have now rectified this and can ensure your form and payment have been processed. Please allow up to 9 working days for payment to appear in your account.

Yours Sincerely

I ended up installing Bluestacks Android emulator on my PC to run Apps.  It's a PITA, but beats dealing with a tiny screen.

 

 Tell us more about this, I am interested

 

The old saying don't tar everyone with the same brush ( plonker comes to mind)

Just a thought, what area did  you post the letter to DWP from, a few years back I had a problem with mail posted at ban am Phur Chonburi

It is called a Life Certificate and virtually anyone can certify it. It doesn't need to be a 'professional' and they don't need a stamp.

 

You have 16 weeks from the date of issue.

 

If the pension payment is not received (for any reason) call the International Pension Centre on https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre

On the form it states a professional person or a person of good standing in the community, not any Tom Dick or Harry.

Yes me, no money in the bank, got home a letter in the mailbox from DWP.

Said they have not received the proof of life form sent in January, it got filled in by my lawyer and returned airmail on 18 Feb.

They are playing silly games

Chonburi same, OK now

OK its an Indian Myna, much quieter than the common Myna

Its built on top of a sparrows nest, but they don't seem to mind.

Got the stepladders out expecting to see eggs or chicks, nope just a deep hole going down.

This is the 2nd time of posting this it just vanished first time, hope this one has better luck

Have a guess what birds built this nest, its the first time we have had them in the garden.

Maybe ... Cardiospermum halicacabum

I think you are correct, thanks

Found a few seeds a bit smaller than a pea oval shape on the side of the bird bath, so must have passed through their system.
They have a big root system soon show through the bottom of the pot.

Cant see any plants in the area with leaves the same.

I read ages ago they have something fitted that ejects oil into the system when they accelerate, 

Multi port valve has a slight weep from the backwash/drain side.
whats the best glue/epoxy to use

Don't they soon grow

Anyone in the Pattaya/Najomtien area know where I can buy NPK fertilizer at a decent price I usually get 20 KG, but the delivery cost on Lazada is too much.
