The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Tell him Screenman washes his wife's car twice a week. Mind you I am sure we live in the muddiest county going, every where else seems so much cleaner and the roads are in better condition.

Twice? A week?

Not been up too long - had a bit of a soiree at Chez Moi last night.

Planned a walk today but there is the wind from Hell blowing out there and it is seriously freezing cold so...

... tea/crumpets/fire is the order of the day thus far.

Miles on bike so far this month a pitiful 30; and likely to stay that way looking at the sub-zero forecast for the rest of the week.

Cant blame him for not wanting to leave Warrington can you

He was down over Xmas, we went out to lunch at one of the cafes I cycle too, his comment was, "with not living down here now I forget how beautiful the countryside is round here".

Sold my old caravan!

I know that feeling. Sad to see it and the memories go but pleased to be moving on.
I bet you will spend hours, over a bottle or two, talking over those memories.

Definitely!
Very pleased with the price we got. It's worked out that it cost us £75 a year.

He can walk to the pub, no need to be driven to drink.

If I remember correctly our only tourer was an Abbey Gold?? We only kept it one year before going to a static. We actually sold it for what it cost us.
But we did lose serious money when we eventually sold the static.

Yep, I do a lot of miles so my car gets filthy on these muddy lanes, I would never wash mine and not Pam's as well if it is here. I am lucky in that all the cleaning stuff is at hand all the time.

Celebratory Sunday lunch - £6.75.

I only wash cars when I'm going to sell them. It's a thankless task - mucky again before you get to the end of the street.

Where FiL comes from they have a saying; 'it's a job you'll finish in hell'. Applies to car washing, gardening and housework for me.

My neighbour down the road is always cleaning his car inside and out. Stupid man
