Good morning all
Going to a pub/Restaurant this afternoon. to celebrate my brother-laws 60th.
#sodslaw How come on the days when you are free to go out on a bike ride it's pouring down with rain and the days you are not free it's dry and sunny?

The sun is out. So its the long way round to the pub. 25 miles should do it. Tha pub is a 5 minute walk. We should get there on the bikes in about 1hr 20mins.
Quick edit. The wife is coming so that will be 1hr 30mins.

Bad enough to drive a man to drink!
Did it make a noise if there was no one there to hear it?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I have done sod all this morning apart from washing the dishes and making the bed. And i have just bought some premium bonds as well.

IFA update, for anyone who remembers I was muttering on about that. Doesn't look like a particularly early retirement, but we are on track to have a comfy one, which is reassuring.
Now grappling with doing the calcs between:
Doing nothing and leaving funds in hands of existing providers
Sticking it into a SIPP account and handing over a fair chunk each year to IFA & retained Fund Manager in the hope that they produce great returns to justify the not inconsiderable fees.
Sticking it into a SIPP and handing over a great deal less to a company that offers a similar service delivered online.
This exercise was supposed to make things clearer, too!

Ok. I just chucked it on the bed then.
Mrs D is salivating over that meal.
