The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I have risen!

Been up for a while. Already taken the dog for a walk round the village and enjoyed a quiet puff on my pipe. Now relaxing with a hot Clooney's.

I've had an E-mail from my car insurers,Hastings Direct, telling me I can get a reduction in my premium if I'm doing less mileage than usual, I shall have a look at that later, though I won't use the link in the E-mail.

Well I've had a rumage round on the Hastings Direct website and I can save the whopping sum of £1-68p a month.

Just been reading a recipe for slow cooked chicken.
This last sentence sounds a bit drastic

Stir some salt and pepper into the butter and push the butter under the skin. Put the bay leaf in the cavity of the chicken and sit on top of the onion and carrot.

Good morning folks, I've had an E-mail from my car insurers,Hastings Direct, telling me I can get a reduction in my premium if I'm doing less mileage than usual, I shall have a look at that later, though I won't use the link in the E-mail.

I am with Hastings (at the present) and got an automatic reduction this year, not a lot but acceptable.

Morning all

Different day, same sh1t.
Doggie walking.
Lunch.
Dossing.
Bed.

I had a work colleague that openly told me he was only allowed sex on a Sunday morning.
Can't you fit that somewhere in your list

Good morning gentle folk.
Dry here with no rain forecast till tomorrow BUT then its in for the week.
A decent sleep last night. That neck pain sh*t came back on Friday and this time stayed so I got, literally, no sleep Friday night or yesterday. I made up for it last night.....got up for a pee at 0700 and went back till 08.30.....lovely.

Good Morning All, dull and breezy, 4 degrees. Our respite from freezing temperatures isn’t set to last, looks like they will be back with us by Thursday. Will have to get out on my bike the next few days while I can.

You should go and have lie down in a darkened room . Will you be able to cope with anticipation, the excitement of the parcel arriving. Then realising you have the wrong b......y size.

Just reading about an 11 month old Texel ram that sold in Lanark last year for £367,000
The most expensive sheep in the world they reckon.

I will have to go and buy a new electric tooth brush during the week, I've had the old one about 15 years and it now needs charging every other day, Have you seen the price of some of these things! I've been looking at them online this morning, far too much excitement for a Sunday morning.

I got a cheapo from Amazon that I’ve been using for about a year now. Probably not as good as the fancy Oral B ones but it does the job. Might get a better one if it gives up the ghost at some point.

That looks good, some of the ones I was looking at were over £200, ridicules price for a tooth brush.

Only thing is it has a usb lead for charging rather than electric plug like the dearer ones. I just pop it into the back of the computer overnight. Charge lasts probably 10 to 14 days I think.
