The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

Morning all . Been up since 5 as I had a phone call from lifeline telling my mum had a fall . Luckily she’s fine and the paramedics had sorted her out before I got there.
I stayed with her until her carers came at 6.45 and I am now in Sainsbury’s car park waiting for it to open . I normally do her shopping on Wednesday but normally in about three hours time 😂
Sadly these falls are happening far to often these days .

On a lighter note . Marmite is just vile 😂😂😂

Good morning folks, still very cold, and we've had more snow overnight. My phone rang at half six this morning, my Good Lady wanting me to come downstairs and help her on the commode, when she'd finished I went back to bed leaving her watching tele in bed.

This has come up on my memories on facebook, me as a 16 year old sailor, a very long time ago.

I think that, like peanut butter, it's useful for baiting mouse traps, but not much else.

I woke this morning with toast, grilled cheese and MARMITE on my mind.
Not sure if I will actually have that but it sounds good to me.

Eek marmite.
Are you a man or a mouse?

Good morning all,
A nice clear morning here, temperature is -3 outside.

All the usual things to do today, which is not much. The highlight will be a longish dog walk across the fields.

Stay safe everyone, eat more Marmite

Morning. We have minus 8 so the snow won’t be going anywhere! I’ve had to get dressed as it’s blue bin day and I ain’t going outside in my jim jams. Lol.

Blimey Mo.
Round here you see mums taking their kids to school while wearing their jim jams (thats the mums wearing them, not the kids).
If I need to unlock the gate early doors ie for the window cleaner I will happily do so in jim jams and dressing gown.

Morning all. I'm still alive but half frozen. Feet and ankles feel like meat from a freezer.

It's cold in the house but even so, it's rare for me to feel like this.

I've sloped off back to bed with a cuppa.

Feeling like another duvet day.

Do you have central heating ?

Do you have central heating ?

No. There's no gas. We live in a tiny well-insulated house and use resources very sparingly. I'll avoid the politics of that, but it's to do with the thinking that the earth's resources are becoming more scarce, and trying to do our bit.

I will remember that when your feet fall off

When they do, I'll be sure to send them to the Marmite factory for processing, then you can have them on toast.

Morning all

Feels like a bit of a Marmite day, if you ask me.
Will see if I can find another good film to watch today.

I remember the 1960's TV series

So...... I was in bed early and woke at 06.30 (apologies @Mo1959 ). It was black and cold but comfy in the conservatory.
As you may recall, MrsD has really lost her appetite/ability to eat. Well, at 00.30 while I was fast asleep she was up eating a weetabix......that has to be good.
She also says she has a taste for steak with fried onion.......nothing else, just plain steak and onion. So, come 0900 I am off to the butcher for a good quality steak.
I will add chips and pepper sauce to mine
