The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

We live at most 90 minutes drive from Lytham St Annes where NS&I is located. I reckon if we haven't had a knock on the door by 11.00am on the 1st of the month I'm still not a millionaire..........................................I have stopped waiting in.....................my wife says that's silly!!

Still there waiting on me.

I have owned premium bonds for over 54 years without a single win, rubbish return on a £2 investment.

Nice but too close to the neighbours for me, it looks also that it is not only the agents around here that stretch the photos.

Mornin' all.
So many folks up and about this morning I had to check the clock to see if I'd overslept. Seems like the anticipation of a Premium Bonds win spurs folks out of their beds. Do you set your alarms folks?

Looks great. You could do cycling B&B for frendly pensioners.......

I haven't set the alarm since I retired in 2015

That looks lovely, but too big for us.

Went to the LBS. Ian looked at my tyres and laughed, VERY loudly. I now have new tyres.

Went for a quick 30 miler this afternoon to check the tyres are OK.

Heading out for 75 tomorrow. Will have to pack a picnic.

So am I.
Ohh.....75.....I read it as 7.5 .

Set an alarm? An alarm? Are you mad?

Morning all.
Just been listening to George Formby singing When Im Cleaning Windows......how did he get away with that. Funny song and funny guy though.......burried in Warrington cemetry.
Hard to believe its the last hot day......going to dip to 12° . How the hell can it do that!!!!
Flower beds all done now. All we need is some flowers to bed in.
It is one of those days when I have absolutely no idea what to do. I suppose I could go back to bed

Good morning fellow retirees,
I've just checked my Premium Bonds and I've won £25👍
I've set mine to automatically reinvest, that way they'll go into next month's draw.
I too keep waiting for the knock on the door telling me that I'm a million quid better off😁

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♂️🚲🏃‍♂️🌞

Managed my first 50 km ride after the total knee replacements. Warm, sunny and hard work.

Excellent stuff. Congrats.

Good morning everyone.

Agonisizing this morning. I've seen a new bike that I have a hankering for, but I've only had this one three weeks. I must not, I really must not, I MUST NOT. Dammit I may have just added it to basket.
