The Retirement Thread

Then they create the very destiny they dread.

I ordered a replacement fan yesterday afternoon for the boiler, it arrived this morning, now fitted and a lot quieter than the old one with worn out bearings.

My car is booked in for tomorrow morning. I am going to have to slum it with the unwashed masses and get the bus home. Bloody hell, its been a long time since i had to do that.

Stick your bike in the boot and cycle home.

I was thinking of doing that, but if Mr WD decides to come as well, then the bus it is.

Every house I went in as a copper, no matter how deprived the family, no matter how few rooms had carpets, no matter how many needles littered the place, no matter how deep in dog guano the floor was, every single one had a TV of at least 42" and the latest games console.

There's always money to buy crap today, so I tend not to listen when people complain there's no money for essentials tomorrow.

But it is the people that are not in that state that may have the problem.

First good pie of the week. Steak and kidney at the Highwayman. 8/10.

There still seems to be plenty of silver dollars for I phones and other unnecessary consumer tat.

The silver dollar in the motor trade refers to people with good pensions.

MrsP and I both have good occupational pensions and I went on the State Pension this year, which was nice.
Thing is though, prices are creeping up so one has to be careful.
It's high time that interest rates for savers went up a tad.

That could hurt people who have a mortgage.

Indeed it might.
Swings and roundabouts innit?
We're mortgage free savers.

I have been for year's, but I would not not like others to suffer though.

Do you know what you are saving for?

Today I refitted the FZR fuel pump that I'd painstakingly refurbished.

Some some sweet Good ridge hoses slipped in.

I'm knackered now. Need the rest of the day off.

Had a good swim first thing, and 30 minutes in the gym, currently chilling and off to the physio at 12.45 a late lunch with the much better half ( is that allowed) and a turbo session later. Life is great.

Now if only I can figure out how to get a square hole from end to end through a 20 inch long wooden round piece wood.
