Dark outside today but telling a lot brighter inside, bed shopping today as it seems we need a new base for the one in the spare spare room. Now this seems rather off as the spare room is only used once a year and the spare spare even less, but who am I to argue

Good morning. It is dark. It is raining, and it is windy. The summer has def gorn. At least it isn't cold.

Good Day. Dark, wet and windy with a bit of a chill. I will light the stove before Mrs P appears to divert attention from the central heating.

Went to bed at 10 and didn't wake till 6.45 - obviously a very hard walk yesterday.

bed shopping today

Glad to see you're feeling better. Bed shopping in our house is when Mrs P starts browsing Next on line before getting up - very dangerous.

Treated myself to a lay in, finally arose from the pit at a laggardly 0700hrs. Dog walked, just settling down with a cup of Clooney's.

I am thinking that I may give up running. I'm not enjoying it lately, and my knees aren't enjoying the pounding. Up the cycle miles and gym time instead.

The stove is gently warming itself to expand after several months of rest.

I haven't struck a match in months. We're all used to product getting smaller while packaging and price stays the same. I'm sure the matches are thinner with less pink stuff on the head.

Morning all. Was rudely awoken at 7o/c by a delivery man, my new electric toothbrush arrived earlier than expected. A bit of shopping then a bit of bike fettling ready for tomorrows Sunday ride.

Morning retirees. As a desperate to join you individual I find myself in need of an IFA who can help us create a flight path to freedom, as it were! In essence we need an audit of our various assets and a plan.

Any personal recommendations you can share? We're based near Bicester in Oxfordshire but would travel.

It all depends on what your expectations are versus what your bank balance says. . One piece of advise, you can always live on less money.

We have some good news and some bad news. Bad news is, it is hissing down here. Good news. My shiny new tyres are so much better in the rain.

Good morning. Just got back from 2 weeks in Corfu and 1 week in Southern France where the sky was blue and temperature in high 20s and even over 30 in Corfu. This is a bit of shock to the system as it is bl**dy cold and wet here!

Most of the coffin dodgers I see are grossly overweight 30 - 40 somethings who take no exercise.

They could be Salad dodgers as well

I've been down the Chesterton Windmill this morning, its open today and tomorrow and I've had a tour round it.
