The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning all.
Heavy rain here and quite cool.
Mr Fixit is coming as I have a list of small jobs that need doing eg with the new carpets down i have 2 doors that need thier bottoms shaving ooh erhh missus.. I need some mastic at the back of the sink. I dont have any and he always carries it.
I need to nip out as there is a place nearby that will make leftover pieces of carpet into rugs and I want one under the treadmill.
AND.... I am planning a pub lunch (if im awake by then).

Cooler here, but dry. Slight rain overnight, can and van peppered with saharan dust.

Will dig out the remainder of the front garden today.

Morning.
Much colder here as v windy and a northerly so feels it as well. Dry though.
Plan for this morning is the joyful task(not) of ringing around care/nursing homes to see if vacancy and procedure etc for my Dad assuming he gets medically released from hospital.

Had to chuckle. Been catching up on the local dibble misconduct cases. One bobby resigned the day before his hearing...only for the panel to decide he would only have received a written warning if he were still in the job!

Sticking my big nose in. Rhetorical question** but......have you explored alternatives as care home costs are very scary as I know from experience. Sue's aunty DID have £100K in the bank when the relatives "put" her in a care home. 12 months later there is £20K left.
** as I say, that rhetorical so feel free to ignore that.

Morning. A chilly but pleasant 5.5 mile wander done. We now have blue sky and sunshine and porridge has been eaten.
