The Retirement Thread

Surprise surprise. I just heard the bin men emptying the glass box. I really didn't think they would make it today. Well done Powys bin men.

Both feeling tired today - 10 mile walk yesterday up to around 1300' altitude in a bitterly cold wind has taken its toll. Can usually knock off that sort of walk and only feel slightly weary next day.

-7C at the moment on Metcheck with -8C actual.

Heating system just about capable of maintaining a 26-28C differential when the open fire is not in use.

Our eldest lad lives in Warrington and starts work early, he's posted on Facebook that it was -9 this morning when he walked in.

I thought Bulb customers were being transferred to Octopus in November. I've had the emails couple of months back, but it seems to of gone very quiet.

Weather Underground weather stations near here are reporting -4 and -6 - basically still cold!!

Managed to fix the blinds on the patio door before they fell down and caused more damage - which is good - I normally just try to open them and they end up on the floor with 3 big holes left behind - but this time I noticed before it got serious
Go ME!!

It seems that we have volunteered to help with the grandkids today - and tomorrow - and Saturday

I did ask if we are actually adopting them but apparently I was being grumpy for comic effect

Oh well!!

Ps if anyone wants to post a spoiler that’s fine with me 😂😂😀

Of course it is your fault

Interesting. Are you on one of these tariffs which encourages use outside of peak times? I notice the average of your price is 34.54 whereas I'm paying 33.33p at anytime day or night. Do you use your washing machine etc. outside of peak times and do you know if there's a worthwhile saving?

No. Not encouraged to use outside peak times.

I always use my washing machine etc outside peak times. No idea why my prices are different

I do hope the weather is going to warm a bit.
