The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

House move has fallen through.
Vendors can't find another property and our purchasers will pull out tomorrow unless we can commit to completing before January - which obviously we can't.
Hey ho, such is life!
We will stay put until Spring and then re-market.
On a better note, we're meeting up with our mates today in Wells.

Good morning all.
It was quite sunny first thing, now its clouded over and the rain is coming.
Dog walking and domestics this morning. This afternoon I'll be in my man cave doing some tidying up. It's a bit of a mess.

We are expecting a Box freezer to be delivered within the next half hour. The delivery guys are from Brum. They phoned and said my address couldn't be found. I asked them where they were and typical brummie said " I ain't got a scooby do

They found it then

Well they found us in the end and delivered the freezer.

The name of the house is spelt differently depending on the navigation device you use. Its either Gr or Gw. And the last part of the postcode is different as well. doh

Dreadful....I feel for you both.
Many years ago we were in a chain with 10 others, horrible. But we were in our 20s then and could handle it better.

So sorry to hear that Dirk. The never ending problems of having a chain.

Hey ho!
Onwards and upwards.
No point in having regrets.

We manged to get out for lunch today, then had a enjoyable and profitable afternoon down the club, my Good lady won twice at bingo and my Sister in Law won once, I didn't enjoy telling them we couldn't make Sundays coach trip but it had to be done, it was piddling down when we came out and we had to wait for it to ease before we went for our bus and it stayed dry till we were almost home.

It's strange, our daughter is currently renting so is the first link in a chain. There's a house two roads away that she is buying. It's ideal because school / friends / transport will remain the same. There are issues further up the chain but it seems that I'm more stressed than she is!

We have had more lightning today. We had a power cut as well.

When we sold our second house we had it all sorted and everything agreed then the day we were to sign contracts the fella who was buying our house phoned me and tried to drop the price another five grand, when I refused he pulled out, fortunately the people who's house we were buying were willing to wait while we found another buyer for our house.

I’ve binged the whole of Tokyo Vice. The ending has definitely left it open for another series. It was good. Judge John Deed now on the Drama channel.
