The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

I just dug these out. My original PB's dated December '65 and may '67.
I did win £25 once with one of these in 67 or 68.. I had to share it with my brother £12.10.00.

@Drago sent everyone, who was up early, a cheque for £500.....

The story of my life

Are they all accounted for?

Our loft stairs lead directly on to a small landing, the house stairs continue straight down.

Mrs P has just dropped a large box of baubles and pine cones at the top of the loft stairs.......

........ to answer your question, yes, when I got them out!

For a number of years, many years, whenever a teddy appears on the Antiques Roadshow Mrs P will ask "Where's my teddy? You've thrown him out haven't you?"

I have long protested my innocence, unbelieved, for an equal amount of time. I confess to hating clutter and keeping junk (we have a lot) but I'm not completely stupid and value my body parts!

This morning while reorganising the boxes in the loft I thought " I wonder what's in this one?"

teddy has returned and of course I can claim the moral high ground........until the next time

Just been fiddling with my blog. Latest installment now published. The national newspapers are positively not queueing up to syndicate my musings.

This hit the spot.
