The Retirement Thread

[Proto]

Forgot to add that camper van travels are being planned, away for months at a time. I’ve never been to Finland, nor Portugal, so we’re going, my wife, the dog and me.

Don't forget the string backed gloves and flat hat. And now you must learn to drive at 39mph everywhere.

Eh? No idea why you should suggest this. Converted VW Transporter or Fiat Ducato, very basic, keep it simple. The view from the bed in the back of our rented Fiat this summer on Skye.

Sold my small business in December, got my P45 the next day and I can now officially say I’m retired. Woo hoo!!

Put the house up for sale in early November, sold it within a week, likely to be moving out on 18th January.

Homeless and jobless.

Leaving Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire, Going to rent somewhere for 6 months until we decide where we want to put down roots, but probably Somerset, maybe Dorset . All feels a bit strange, but in a good way!

Welcome to the rest and the best of your life..........................you can have no idea how good this is till you do it!

Didn't you get your copy in the post with your P45?

No......they are 'proper' driving gloves. As worn by Terry Thomas.

What a waste of a life! Gonna tidy up and read the paper. The Star is always a good read on a Sunday, and those ads for elasticated slacks in the classifieds section are interesting.

Pictures of nice women?

We're being raided, our granddaughter's in our kitchen cupboards.

Much left after the raid?

Good morning. Wet and windy so I am not riding my bike today. Tomorrow I have to regardless of weather to sneak in my 2018 targets - only 243 feet of climbing needed.

On Friday had to assist crashed cyclist who it turned out had broken his hip socket in two places. Spent 2.5 hours in the middle of nowhere waiting for the blue light boys.

Saturday spent rescuing son from M6 breakdown. No sooner had I got home when neighbour knocks on door with a chain off which had somehow become twisted.

Am I the fourth emergency service or what,?!

A good samaritan by the sound of it
