The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

Blimey, I just heard a bang - a thunderstorm had blown in without me noticing. (The curtains are closed in this room.) I went out into the kitchen to check and it was so dark in there that I had to switch the light on to see where I was going!

The rain was torrential for a few minutes with a torrent of water gushing out of my neighbour's dodgy guttering. Why they don't get that fixed, I'll never understand - their wall is now soaked by the overflow. The pointing isn't good either so they will be getting damp problems from it, if they haven't already...

Just spent over an hour trying to sort out my mobile phone problem.

My account had the wrong phone and also said I was not the bill payer. Finally sorted it out
I now have 10gb of data per month. Unlimited texts and calls for £13 per month instead of PAY go for £10 0er month with 250mb of data. It's a win win for me. And I am now down as the bill payer so have full access to my account

It's blown over here and the wind is in your direction so see if you get it in 20 minutes or so?

Blimey - that's a lot to pay for only 1/32 of one byte!

Yep. I have had it for the last.5 years. I don't use it much to he honest, but it's nice to have the extra

When I went with them for my broadband 18 months ago they did give me an extra 5gb each month for nothing, so that was somethng I suppose

Had a drive out to Bude LIDL to pick a few things up, them took doggie for a walk.
Tried Boscastle for lunch, but it was absolutely rammed, so went on to the Old Wainhouse Corner Inn. The Rosie's 'Pig' is definitely a sleeping cider.
Back to the van for a siesta.......

Love Boscastle, one of my favourite places in the country

Went for a ride at lunch time and was caught by a heavy downpour 5 miles away from home. Got very wet but carried on with my ride, although I cut it a bit shorter, only 22 miles.

It's gone dark and the rain is here again
Heavier this time. It might stay a while

I hope you had strava turned off.

I don't do strava

We had a major thunderstorm this afternoon, torrential rain for about an hour but not a lot of thunder and lightning.

Always worth checking, even with current provider, when Contract ends. Have just renewed SIM only Contract for Mrs @BoldonLad, £8.50/month, unlimited minutes, 5000 texts, 10GB of Data. That is with Tesco/O2. Last year she (well I) was paying £9 for less minutes and data, with same provider.
