The Retirement Thread

Ernie has neglected me this month.

Good morning folks,
The wind died down around midnight and it's eerily calm. Ernie missed my numbers this month 🥲. Last month I took a wedge out and stuck it in a fixed term ISA. There was some blurb on the app advising not to cash in bonds just because you'd not won this month, I expect they've seen a significant outflow of money into fixed term bonds now that interest rates on savings have improved.

Cooooeeeeee. 7 deg and wet here but so least we haven't had the winds that some have.

Stay safe peeps

Woooohhhooooooo. Uncle Ernie has given me £100 this month. Totally chuffed. Its the most I have ever won in a month.

It's a bit early but I think I need my porridge. Feeling a bit chilled now after sweating earlier.

Morning all

Battening down the hatches for later on today.
Think we'll stay inside and watch a fillum or two.
I got £200 on the PBs and MrsD had £125 - so not a bad result all round.

Nope. I was up around 5.30.

Breakfast finished and just having a cuppa. Makes it a long day when you get up so early.

We were discussing Statins in the pub yesterday. I was recently called in for a health check and despite all my vitals being good ( regular exercise, no family history of cardiovascular disease, non smoker, vegetarian diet for 60+years, cholesterol level of 3.1 ) I still triggered the algorithm that recommended Statins)
I will stick with daily porridge instead of statins, I have a mental image of fluffy flakes of porridge oats coursing through my bloodstream soaking up excess cholesterol 😄

I've not long ordered some from here along with chopped dates to add for a hint of sweetness.

Good stuff they sell, a lot of it organic.

It's the disruption caused by a house move.
I had the same thing earlier this year. Took several weeks to get back to normal waking time.
