The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Salut. I had a shock this morning when I read my renewal for my car insurance. It went from 200 pounds a year to 606 pounds a year !! If they think I am going to renew with them, they think I am a fool. Anyway, went on Meerkats and found one for under 300 a year. That will do me. Why does your present insurer hike so much on renewal ? They must know they will lose your custom by doing so and they certainly have with me.

I fully agree. However for some reason the present insurers only asked £2.00 more last time....weird.

Late on duty today. Just couldn't get going.
My cleaner is here this morning. Sue fully trusted her as I do and she really takes a lot of stress away from my weekly 'chores'.

Faggots, mushy peas and fries today. Apparently the butcher near my daughters house makes them himself, and the locals all rave about them, so we decide to give them a try.

With plenty of gravy and a liberal sprinkling of black pepper.

Is faggots another word for meat balls ??
I am on wiltshire ham on crusty cob.....with mustard. Maybe a few chips.

Parcel re delivery scheduled between 11:30-12:30. I am sat in the chair reading and looking out the lounge window. I should have arranged for the guy who lives in the bungalow at the end of the road to keep watch and signal if he spots a van on final approach 🎌

Sort of - more offal and savoury though.

No. Meatballs are a bit spicy. Faggots are more smooth and less mince meaty if that makes sense. And they tend to have a grain of some kind in them

I admire your restraint!

I have never use them, I don't even know what you do, know me I'd get it wrong

I prefer to use the self-scan scanners, then, pay for the goods at the terminal. You can check prices as you go, pack your bag(s) as you go.

Morning folks,
A busy day yesterday stripping the silicone around the bath after removing the shower screen. Renewed the silicone and left it to set overnight. Spoke with Mrs TKK who had a productive day at Newcastle Library, she's in University library today before heading up to Edinburgh later.
Physio on the arm / shoulder later, and pehaps a visit to the Eight Arch tap room on my way home 🍺

Hope you filled the bath with water before you applied the new silicon.

I have risen! 1st!

We're going to look at a house today, and while we're out there are two viewings on our place.

I was hoping to get on before that nasty, wicked Drago chap....no such luck 🙂
