Having a lazy day after my 112 miles of riding over the weekend, might even go down to the local for a pint.

The point was, that anything about finances would get lost in all the other comments here, now the thread is 94 pages long, and people are posting about many other aspects (as derrick has just done).
As the OP in the other thread has a specific question, it will be easier to discuss in its own thread.
There have already been several discussion within this thread about finances. It was not thought necessary to start another thread for those. I don't see why this new one is any different.

Because it was brought to my notice, that's all. At the end of the day, does it really matter?

Got in my first bike ride for a week today, 56 miles out to Wellesbourne Airfield , not a nice morning for a bike ride, I was a tad damp when I got home. Yoga and housework for tomorrow.

Last day today!
I've been working 1 day per week for most of this year but finally decided enough is enough as we weren't actually achieving anything, and whilst the money is good the demoralising effect just got too much.
So here's hoping at 56 that I can now find enough things to fill my days without emptying my savings

Well.......done it again.
Friday is fish and chips down the local. Get undercharged every time.
Today.....3 pints and 3 halves of Exmoor Gold (£3.80 a pint), 2 x F&C = £20.40.
It's always £20.40 whatever we have!!!
Not complaining, mind.
You mean you don't own up?
I just let 'em get on with it. I'm just a poor pensioner, not a business consultant.You mean you don't own up?

Worked out we can live ok but also intend to run a part time business to keep brain cells alive and increase income.
Havent slept building up to telling the firm now Cant wait.
