The Retirement Thread

The forecast was correct. Is here now and to be heavy all day

It'll not be all day, you've snow headed your way.

The same as yesterday, as little as possible.

Sounds like an excellent plan to me

They don't have very good reviews. Expensive and not good quality so I have heard.

I/we actually kitted out our dining room with their stuff eg table, 6 chairs, wall unit, nest of tables and a cupboard. We have had it for 7+ years now and it is still fine.
One thing they don't tell you (small print) is that you have to wax it every year for the guaranty to stand. I did it once!!! Real PITA.

Good morning from a soggy Barnet.
The dog has been walked and is now drying off on a pile of old towels.
I have to go out and get some fruit as the fruit bowl is empty. I may wait for rain to slacken off a bit first.

Heard the same Faulty woodwork if I remember they were reviewed on rogue traders for not taking responsibility for faulty furniture

It’s just stopped raining 😊😊😊The sun has got its hat on hip hip hooray

 

[Paulus]

The rain has stopped here also and the sun is trying to come out from behind the clouds. Not with much success though.
I ended up driving to the shops, as I decided not to go on the bike and get very wet.

OUCH that hurt.
As I have said, that Covid has taken most of the strength and feeling from my legs.
So.......when a bulb blew I dragged a chair out to stand on.
Got part way up, leg gave way and I went asre over t*t.
Not sure what I caught it on but left leg was bleeding a lot. Daughter was here to administer 1st aid. aahh well, I had worse in the trenches

Oh dear. Take care

 

[Paulus]

I hope the bleeding has stopped and you are alright. You might hurt a bit later if there is any bruising.

Did you damage the chair?


Hope you're both okay.

Yep. Ribs are a bit sore. Leg is well strapped and hopefully bleeding has stopped now.

You strapped a limb that was bleeding?
How bad was the bleeding?

 

[pawl]

Just been notified that I have been in close contact on Nov 10 who has covid. That was six days ago Not feeling any symptoms Will have to get a test kit tomorrow

Edit
Not experiencing any symptoms Just done a L F T.Negative
I was in the garden centre that particular day.Quite likely I was no ware near the person who recorded the positive Better safe than sorry.

The rain eventually stopped so I just popped out for a 20 minute stroll to stretch the legs and get some fresh air after being cooped up most of the day. It’s turning cold now.

I’ll make a slice of toast and cuppa then watch Dalziel and Pascoe at 8.
