Another step closer. Got a letter from SPPA yesterday letting me know how much I'll be getting and the maximum amount I can transfer to increase my lump sum.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Soon there will be more retired people posting on this thread than anywhere else on the forum.

Good morning all, better night last night, slept through to five, was woken by my bladder shouting empty me,came down stairs opened the back door and heard an orrible noise, then spotted one of our local squirrels scampering across the gardens, I recon it had been sat on the fence by the door and I startled it, the noise I heard was its claws on the wooden fence as it shot off.
Hmm. Not many people still have outside loos these days.

Perhaps Shaun could rename the forum Cycloretiromoan?

The last place I had that had an outside bog was the first flat I lived in when I came to Coventry in 1973.

We've been over to Birmingham today, I've got a new plant to look after.

And now that outside bog is subdivided and rented out.

[QUOTE 5271686, member: 9609"]I would have probably have been on some of those roads yesterday - what is your route.
After spending nearly all day yesterday on the bike, I think I'm getting put to work in the garden today[/QUOTE]
Urban grimness until Ponteland then Whalton, Meldon, Forestburn Gate, over the Simonside hills to Rothbury. Lunch at Tomlinsons. From there to Thropton & Snitter then I was lost.
Quite a bit of off road, some fords - one unrideable, Little Ryles & the Breamish valley stick in the memory. At Ilderton I'd had enough and guessed if I headed east I'd hit the A697. From there it was only 3 miles into Wooler.
Right enjoyed it but definitely won't be retracing that route home.

That plant is huge. Must be strong to carry the weight of a laptop like that.

Good morningl chilly here. I will be moving furniture around today. I am feeling more than a bit smug as i washed my car a week ago. Won't have to do it for another 6 months then.
