Scary really.We've looked into that, but it's not for us.
Too many restrictions and limitations.
1947 was a wonderful year in British history.My neighbour Tom, who is 84, lived in Princetown during the war years and into the early 50s.
His dad was a prison officer when Dartmoor nick was a high security establishment.
Tom takes great delight in recounting his experiences on Dartmoor during the winter of 1947.
Ex I fully agree with you.Night night every one. All this talk of retiring and money has made me very reflective. I have to say I am very careful with money. Probably because my dad wasn’t. He spend the last decades of his life living beyond his means on credit cards. . By the time I had to step in because of his memory loss, he was living off the state pension and owed £50,000 pounds to 8 credit card companies which meant the minimum interest payments were more than the total money he had coming in . Luckily I managed to sort it out before he died ( thank god for citizens advice ) , which means my mum has at least has lived to 86 in a semi comfortable retirement .
I only bring this up as a warning, to anyone thinking of retiring early . Please please make sure you have done all the correct calculations. Self delusion at this point only brings pain to your family going forward.

Good morrow folk.
Up early at 05 30. Enjoyed my coffee while listening to S.O.T S and catching up on last nights comments......its a good start to the day
MrsD comes down around 0800 and one of her 1st questions is "ok, what are Mo and Welshie up to"?
A mixed day is promised weather wise.
May seem strange but if the weather is crap at the weekend I can enjoy chilling out and watching sport on tv.
I have NO PLANS to do any jobs.
No bloomers ??Welshie is sitting here in my PJ's having a coffee and listening to the rain. I am contemplating making a cake today but we shall see.
